"If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it."
"If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek."
"The way you make love is the way God will be with you."
"Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear."
