People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant... it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.

There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.

God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.

Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.
