Behold how all those people are merchants who shun great sins and would like to be good and do good deeds in God's honour, such as fasts, vigils, prayers, and similar good deeds of all kinds. They do all these things so that our Lord may give them something, or so that God may do something dear to them. All these people are merchants.

There is no stopping place in this life--nor is there ever one for any person, no matter how far along the way one's gone.

He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.

God is at his greatest when I am at my least.

A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or he may be in Church and be aware of God; but if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him... He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.

God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.

God is the word that speaks itself.
