I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God. God is nearer to me than I am to myself; my existence depends on the nearness and the presence of God.

There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.

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

Knowledge comes through likeness. And so because the soul may know everything, it is never at rest until it comes to the original idea, in which all things are one. And there it comes to rest in God.

Wisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.

The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.

What our Lord did was done with the intent, and this alone, that he might be with us and we with him.
