More quotes by Walter Hilton
Prayer is naught but a rising desire of the heart into God by withdrawing of the heart from all earthly thoughts.
Walter Hilton
I desire the love of God not because I am worthy, but because I am unworthy.
Walter Hilton
What is humility but truthfulness? There is no real difference.
Walter Hilton
When you attack the roots of sin, fix your thought more on the God you desire than on the sin you abhor.
Walter Hilton
Regard yourself all the more as a sinner because you cannot feel yourself to be what you are.
Walter Hilton
There are many who are hypocrites although they think they are not, and there are many who are afraid of being hypocrites although they certainly are not. Which is the one and which is the other God knows, and none but He.
Walter Hilton
Some people understand the charity of our Lord and are saved by it others, relying on this mercy and kindness, continue in their sins, thinking that it may be theirs whenever they wish. But this is not so, for then they are too late and are taken in their sins before they expect it, and so damn themselves.
Walter Hilton
We therefore need to know the gifts given us by God, so that we may use them, for by these we shall be saved.
Walter Hilton
It is easier to renounce worldly possessions than it is to renounce the love of them
Walter Hilton
