God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.
The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it.
What we love we shall grow to resemble.
The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
If you want to be given everything, give everything up.
Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.
What we do inwardly will change outer reality.
If the only prayer you said was 'Thank you', that would be enough.
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
True spirituality is about nothing else than learning to die.
The more we have, the more we want.
God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.
The soul is created in a place between time and eternity: with its highest powers it touches eternity, with its lower time.
God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
上帝只期望你做一件事，那就是你應(yīng)該走出自己，因?yàn)槟闶且粋€被創(chuàng)造的存在，讓上帝在你里面成為上帝。
靈性生活不是讓我們脫離這個世界，而是引領(lǐng)我們更深地融入其中。
我們所愛的，我們將會變得像它一樣。
