There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.
Meister EckhartA life of rest and peace in God is good; a life of pain lived in patience is still better; but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.
Meister EckhartWisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.
Meister EckhartNo-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister EckhartThe seed of God is in us. If the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to God whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. Now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of God into God.
Meister Eckhart
