God is at home. We are in the far country.

Treat all things as if they were loaned to you without any ownership - whether body or soul, sense or strength, external goods or honors, house or hall . . . everything.

That which a man acquires by contemplation he should spend in love.

Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things unless they first stumble in some respect.

Action and becoming are one.

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.

When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
