A humble man is not afraid of failure. In fact, he is not afraid of anything, even himself, since perfect humility implies perfect confidence in the power of God.

Jesus lived and died in vain if He did not teach us to regulate the whole of life by the eternal law of love. Gandhi, quoted in Merton, p. 38

I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.

If there is no silence beyond and within the many words of doctrine, there is no religion, only a religious ideology. For religion goes beyond words and actions, and attains to the ultimate Truth only in silence and Love.

Spread abroad the name of Jesus in humility and with a meek heart; show him your feebleness, and he will become your strength.

Stop thinking and start looking.

There is not true intimacy between souls who do not know how to respect one another's solitude.
