What am I then, my God? What is my nature? A life varied, multifaceted and truly immense.

In all your movements, let nothing be evident that would offend the eyes of another.

And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth? is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain thee?

If you understood him, it would not be God.

There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art. And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other.

Nothing conquers except truth and the victory of truth is love.

I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.
