In the midst of silence there was spoken within me a secret word. But to hear this word in stillness, all things must be hushed and at rest in this silence — there must be a stillness, and then we may hear it. The very best and noblest attainment in this life is to be silent and let God work and speak within.
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
God rests in Himself, and makes all things rest in Him.
John Muir·1924Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love. God does not appear, and flow out, only from narrow chinks and round bored wells here and there in favored races and places, but He flows in grand undivided currents, shoreless and boundless over creeds and forms and all kinds of civilizations and peoples and beasts, saturating all and fountainizing all.
Baruch Spinoza·1677It is in the nature of Reason to regard things under a certain form of eternity. Insofar as the mind knows itself and the body under a species of eternity, it necessarily has knowledge of God, and knows that it is in God and is conceived through God.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry·1939Experience shows us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.
