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.
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
God rests in Himself, and makes all things rest in Him.
Lao Tzu·500 BCTo the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
Seneca·63 ADThe primary indication, to my thinking, of a well-ordered mind is a man's ability to remain in one place and linger in his own company.
Marcus Aurelius·180 ADHow easy it is to repel and to wipe away every impression which is troublesome or unsuitable, and immediately to be in all tranquility.
