Although you see the pit, you cannot avoid it.

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.

I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.

Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.

We owe thankfulness to God, not sour faces.

The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.

The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
