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

No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion

God is not good, or else he could do better.

The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.

Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion.

It is a fair trade and an equal exchange: to the extent that you depart from things, thus far, no more and no less, God enters into you with all that is his, as far as you have stripped yourself of yourself in all things. It is here that you should begin, whatever the cost, for it is here that you will find true peace, and nowhere else.

The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God-seed into God.
