Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.

God is the word that speaks itself.

Whoever possesses God in their being has Him in a divine manner, and He shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see.

If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. Similarly the soul becomes completely united with God.

For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.

I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
