Be a Gardener. Dig a ditch. Toil and sweat. And turn the earth upside down. And seek the deepness. And water plants in time. Continue this labor. And make sweet floods to run, and noble and abundant fruits to spring. Take this food and drink, and carry it to God as your true worship.

The Elements of Prayer|Its ground: God, by whose goodness it springeth in us. |Its use: to turn our will to His will. |Its end: to be made one with Him and like to Him in all things.

The love that made Him to suffer passeth as far all His pains as Heaven is above Earth.

The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

If any such lover be in earth which is continually kept from falling, I know it not: for it was not shewed me. But this was shewed: that in falling and in rising we are ever preciously kept in one Love.

The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love.

For in every soul that shall be saved is a Godly Will that never assented to sin, nor ever shall.
