Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things unless they first stumble in some respect.

The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.

To get at the core of God at his greatest, one must first get to the core of himself at his least, for no one can know God who has not first known himself. This core is a simple stillness, which is unmoved itself but by whose immobility all things are moved and all receive life.

Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.

No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.

Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.

Though one should live through all the time from Adam and all the time to come before the judgment day doing good works, yet he who, energising in his highest, purest part, crosses from time to eternity, verily in the sight of God this man conceives and does far more than anyone who lives throughout all past and future time, because this now includes the whole of time. One master says that in crossing over time into the now each power of the soul will surpass itself. . . .
