For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.

The very best and noblest attainment in this life is to be silent and let God work and speak within. Therefore it is said: 'In the midst of silence the secret word was spoken to me'.

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

The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God-seed into God.

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.

Be ready at all times for the gifts of God, and always for new ones.
