People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be. If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are.
Meister EckhartA life of rest and peace in God is good; a life of pain lived in patience is still better; but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.
Meister Eckhart
