Flashes

There was nothing holy in it, but then I offered it to God.

Write your love letters to God, and seal them with a mist.

Nobody makes history like one who lives in the present.

It is impossible to expand one's breadth and depth of vision without increasing one's inferiority complex, as well. Those who see the most become as nothing, but are consumed by their enthusiasm for God.

The highest intelligence makes matters simple. It speaks with the innocence of a child, so that children can understand. It does not hesitate to call a mystery a mystery, or a miracle a miracle. It has no desire to complicate them, nor explain them cleverly away. Children do not need miracles explained, anyway. They take them as a matter of fact.

It wouldn't be a miracle, if it didn't happen.

I crash the alchemical wedding, and stumble onto everything;
see more than I am fit to say, and say more than I am fit to do.

Lightning can turn evening into day, yet, only for an instant;
such is everyone who speaks the truth, while living in a lie.

It is not stealing when the man is rich;
nor is it charity when he is poor, --
only the beginning of justice.

Arrogance is when I accuse you.
Modesty is when I accuse myself.
Humility is when I accuse us both.
Love is when God pardons all.

I had to lose the way, to find the wilderness.

Why do we say "talents", when we could say "gifts"?
Because we lack the humility to honor God for all things.

Don't think it very strange, --

When your child has the gift

Your grandfather took to the grave.
