For the ones who are called saints by human opinion on earth may very well be devils, and their light may very well be darkness

Ash Wednesday is full of joy...The source of all sorrow is the illusion that of ourselves we are anything but dust.

Love is...like a spring coming up out of the ground of our own depths. "I am gift." All that I am is something that's given, and given freely. Being doesn't cost anything. There's no price tag, no strings attached.

If we are to love sincerely, and with simplicity, we must first of all overcome the fear of not being loved.

To be grateful is to recognize the love of God in everything.

Self-conquest is really self-surrender. Yet before we can surrender ourselves we must become ourselves. For no one can give up what he does not possess.

a man can radically change his life and attain to a deeper meaning, a more perfect integration, a more complete fulfillment, a more total liberty of spirit than are possible in the routines of a purely active existence centered on money-making.
