Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
Run into peace.
If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: ‘Why are you living?’ life, if it could answer, would only say, ‘I live so that I may live.’ That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.
Every creature is a word of God and is a book about God.
We rarely find people who achieve great things without first going astray.
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me.
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.
The very best and highest attainment in this life is to remain still and let God act and speak in you.
Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive.
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
