When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.

To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.

My children, mark me. I pray you. Know! God loves my soul so much that his very life and being depend upon his loving me, whether he would or no. To stop God loving me would be to rob him of his Godhood; for God is love no less than he is truth; as he is good, so is he love as well. It is the absolute truth, as God lives... If anyone would ask me what God is, I should answer: God is love, and so altogether lovely that creatures all with one accord essay to love his loveliness, whether they do so knowingly or unbeknownst, in joy or sorrow.

[W]e must come into a transformed knowing, an unknowing which comes not from ignorance but from knowledge.

Everything is full and pure at its source and precisely there, not outside.

There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is.

Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive
