Your best servant is the person who does not attend so much to hearing what he himself wants as to willing what he has heard from you.

The heart of man is restless until he finds rest in Thee.

Don't go outside; get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.

Someone who knows enough to become the owner of a tree, and gives thanks to you for the benefits it brings him, is in a better state, even if ignorant of its height in feet and the extent of its spread, than another who measures and counts all its branches but neither owns it nor knows its creator nor loves him.

This entire most beautiful order of good things is going to pass away after its measure has been exhausted; for both morning and evening were made in them.

Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.

When regard for truth has been broken down or even slightly weakened, all things will remain doubtful.
