He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.

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

My Lord told me a joke. And seeing Him laugh has done more for me than any scripture I will ever read.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.

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

Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this. Others say they would be better off in church. If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church. If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you. God is not distracted by a multitude of things. Nor can we be.

God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
