How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.
Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
Purity of heart is to will one thing.
The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, not read about, nor seen, but if one will, are to be lived.
