Outward as well as inward morality helps to form the idea of a true Christian freedom. We are right to lay stress on inwardness, but in this world there is no inwardness without an outward expression.

This then is salvation - when we marvel at the beauty of created things and praise their beautiful Creator.

God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.

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.

God cannot know himself without me.

People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be. If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are.

I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
