Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion.

The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.

Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.

Every creature is a word of God.

The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.

The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.

God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.
