And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other.

Meister Eckhart
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.
Meister Eckhart
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
If I say that God is good, that is not true. God is not good. I am good, and if I say that God is wise, that is not true. I am wiser than he is.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart
Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.
Meister Eckhart
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!
Meister Eckhart
