Oh, Lord God, have mercy on me and mend my broken wings.

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me, or a flute that his breath may pass through me? A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.

You cannot judge any man beyond your knowledge of him, and how small is your knowledge.

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.
