“One must learn an inner solitude, wherever one may be.”

“Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.”

“Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this.Others say they would be better off in church.If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church.If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you.God is not distracted by a multitude of things.Nor can we be.”

“One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works do not ennoble us; but we must ennoble our works.”

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

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.”

“There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.”
