As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.

The now wherein God made the world is as near this time as the now I am speaking in this moment, and the last day is as near this now as was yesterday.

God holds each of us by a string. When we sin, we cut the string. But God ties it up again, making a knot. Each time our wrongdoing cuts the string, God ties another knot drawing us up closer to Him.

In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.

People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.

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

To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.
