A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

Nothing will be able to hinder us, if we desire and seek God alone, and take pleasure in nothing else.

God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul - in the innermost of the soul

People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.

Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.

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

Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
