When a man grows aware of a new way in which to serve God, he should carry it around with him secretly, and without uttering it, for nine months, as though he were pregnant with it, and let others know of it only at the end of that time, as though it were a birth.

To look away from the world, or to stare at it, does not help a man to reach God; but he who sees the world in Him stands in His presence.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.

Every person born in this world represents something new, something that never existed before, something original and unique.

There is no room for God in him who is full of himself.

And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.

Everything is full of sacramental substance, everything. Each thing and each function is ever ready to light up into a sacrament.
