All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.

A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.

One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God.

The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.

Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure.

The more we have the less we own.

All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.

God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.

The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.

A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

Words derive their power from the original word.

The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.

The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing detachment.

The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me my eye and Gods eye are one eye one seeing one knowing one love.

God wants nothing of you but the gift of a peaceful heart.

In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.

And suddenly you just know. It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.

Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.
