“The word stands for the body, but the symphony stands for the spirit.”

Humanity finds itself in the midst of the world. In the midst of all other creatures humanity is the most significant and yet the most dependent upon the others.

You are the mountain and the valley.

Be not lax in celebrating. Be not lazy in the festive service of God. Be ablaze with enthusiasm. Let us be an alive, burning offering before the altar of God.

I, God, am in your midst. Whoever knows me can never fall. Not in the heights, nor in the depths, nor in the breadths. For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.

A person who lacks the verdancy of justice is dry, totally without tender goodness, totally without illuminating virtue.

A human being is a vessel that God has built for himself and filled with his inspiration so that his works are perfected in it.

With nature’s help, humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life sustaining.

The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured. It must not be destroyed!

The soul is kissed by God in its innermost regions.

We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.

Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you’ve got heaven and earth, and all of creation. You’re a world – everything is hidden in you.

Love abounds in all things, excels from the depths to beyond the stars, is lovingly disposed to all things. She has given the king on high the kiss of peace.

Sometimes when we hear a song we breathe deeply and sigh. This reminds the prophet that the soul arises from heavenly harmony. In thinking about this, he was aware that the soul itself has something in itself of this music.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and stars. Gaze at the beauty of the green earth. Now think.

Rivers of living water are to be poured out over the whole world, to ensure that people, like fishes caught in a net, can be restored to wholeness.

We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.

I’m aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world looking after me.

Beauty is only skin deep. I think what’s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.

History is the record of human progress, a record of the struggle of the advancement of the human mind, of the human spirit, towards some known or unknown objective.

Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit. It is never a narrowing of the mind or a restriction of the human spirit or the country’s spirit.

When we think we’re at the mercy of our circumstances and past, we discount the power that is ours through the Holy Spirit.

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.
