Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn away.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.
