In my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.
Meister EckhartI have a capacity in my soul for taking in God entirely. I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God.
Meister EckhartNo man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister EckhartIf you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man.
Meister EckhartWisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.
Meister EckhartIf anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart
