When I am with you, we stay up all night.When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.Praise God for those two insomnias!And the difference between them.
Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
The whole universe is contained within a single human being - you.
All the particles of the World are in Love and looking for Lovers.
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Each moment contains a hundred messages from God.
Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.

Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars.
Humble yourself, you’ll grow greater than the world.Your Self will be revealed to you, without you.
We are born of love. Love is our mother.
