Meister Eckhart

“For all things taste of God and in all things God's image is seen.”

“God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being and let God be God in you.”

“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.”

“Apprehend God in all things, for God is in all things.”

“Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, 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.”

“The wise man tastes God in all things.”

“What good is it to me if Mary gave birth to the Son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture?”

“We are all meant to be mothers of God.”

“Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.”

“To be properly expressed, a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form.”

“It must come from within, not from without.”

“It must live in the essence and not in the thoughts.”

“There exists only the present instant.”

“A now that always and without end is itself new.”

“There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.”

“What we receive in contemplation we give out in love.”

“The greatest act of love is not to feel it, but to be it.”
