God is nearer to me than I am to myself; He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.

Though it may be called a nescience, and unknowing, yet there is in it more than all knowing and understanding without it; for this unknowing lures and attracts you from all understood things, and from yourself as well.

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.

God is the word that speaks itself.

If 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.

You need seek God neither below or above.He is no farther away than the door of the heart.

Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.
