Treat All Things As If They Were

One Person Who Has Mastered Life Is Better Than A Thousand Persons Who Have Mastered Only The Contents Of Books, But No One Can Get Anything Out Of Life Without God.

God Is In All Things, But So Far As God Is Divine And So Far As He Is Rational, God Is Nowhere So Properly As In The Soul - In The Innermost Of The Soul

If I Had A Friend And Loved Him Because Of The Benefits Which This Brought Me And Because Of Getting My Own Way, Then It Would Not Be My Friend That I Loved But Myself. I Should Love My Friend On Account Of His Own Goodness And Virtues And Account Of All That He Is In Himself. Only If I Love My Friend In This Way Do I Love Him Properly.

The Eye With Which I See God Is The Same Eye With Which God Sees Me.

As God Can Only Be Seen By His Own Light, So He Can Only Be Loved By His Own Love.
