When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, 'Have faith and take your troubles to God.' Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help -- only yourself.

Mundus vult decipi: the world wants to be deceived.

Eclipse of the light of heaven, eclipse of God - such indeed is the character of the historic hour through which the world is now passing

We should also pray for the wicked among the peoples of the world; we should love them too.

One should hallow all that one does in one's natural life. One eats in holiness, tastes the taste of food in holiness, and the table becomes an altar. One works in holiness, and raises up the sparks which hide themselves in all tools. One walks in holiness across the fields, and the soft songs of all herbs, which they voice to God, enter into the song of our soul.

The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.

To begin with oneself but not to end with onself. To start from oneself but not to aim at oneself.
