“Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.--”
“We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.”
“Come near, that no more blinded by man's fate,I find under the boughs of love and hate,In all poor foolish things that live a day,Eternal beauty wandering on her way.”
“I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God. God is nearer to me than I am to myself; my existence depends on the nearness and the presence of God.”
“reality isn't the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are.”
“We have only a little time to please the living. But all eternity to love the dead.”
