People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
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.
Compassion is where peace and justice kiss
The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.
When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
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.
