What matters most is a good and ready will to obey God.

The gracious, eternal God permits the spirit to green and bloom and to bring forth the most marvelous fruit, surpassing anything a tongue can express and a heart conceive.

He who desires to become a spiritual man must not be ever taking note of others, and above all of their sins, lest he fall into wrath and bitterness, and a judging spirit towards his neighbours.

You have within you many strong and cruel enemies to overcome. You must know that there are still a thousand ties which you must break. No one can tell you what they are; only you can tell by looking at yourself and into your heart.

You don't have to leave the world to be holy and grow closer to the Holy One.

If you fall seventy times a day, rise seventy times and return to God so that you will not fall too often.

Man must do his part and detach himself from created things.
