God, give me by Your grace what You give to dogs by nature.

That prayer has great power which a person makes with all his might. It makes a sour heart sweet, a sad heart merry, a poor heart rich, a foolish heart wise, a timid heart brave, a sick heart well, a blind heart full of sight, a cold heart ardent. It draws down the great God into the little heart; it drives the hungry soul up into the fullness of God; it brings together two lovers, God and the soul, in a wondrous place where they speak much of love.

Those who would know much, and love little, will ever remain at but the beginning of a godly life.

Stupidity is sufficient unto itself. Wisdom can never learn enough.

I cannot dance, O Lord, unless You lead me.

Lord, you are my lover, my longing, my flowing stream, my sun, and I am your reflection.

A Light of utmost splendor glows on the eyes of my soul. Therein have I seen the inexpressible ordering of all things, and recognized God's unspeakable glory -- that incomprehensible wonder -- the tender caress between God and the soul...the unmingled joy of union, the living love of eternity as it now is and evermore shall be.
