The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.

The greatest power available to man is not to use it.

In my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.

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... it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.

Nothing is sharper than suffering, nothing is sweeter than to have suffered.

If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.

Love God, and do as you like, say the Free Spirits. Yes; but as long as you like anything contrary to God's will, you do not love Him.
