God leads every soul by a separate path.

Yearning: It needs to hurt in order to be worthy of the word. Otherwise it is just wanting.

God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.

Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation.

The eternal spring is hidden in this living bread for our life's sake, although it is night. It is here calling out to creatures; and they satisfy their thirst, although in darkness, because it is night. This living spring that I long for, I see in this bread of life, although it is night.

Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.
