The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.

Words derive their power from the original word.

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.

This is not only a commandment but also a promise or reward.

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.

People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.

Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.
