The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.

Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.

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

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

Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.

In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.

No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.

The less you feel and the more firmly you believe, the more praiseworthy is your faith and the more it will be esteemed and appreciated; for real faith is much more than a mere opinion of man. In it we have true knowledge: in truth, we lack nothing save true faith....

The moral task of man is a process of spiritualization. All creatures are go-betweens, and we are placed in time that by diligence in spiritual business we may grow liker and nearer to God. The aim of man is beyond the temporal in the serene region of the everlasting Present.
