As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that; then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.

That which a man acquires by contemplation he should spend in love.

All that God asks you most pressingly is to go out of yourself … and let God be God in you

And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other.

...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.

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