The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth.

Let us be silent, that we may hear the whisper of God.

The soul knows only the soul; the web of events is the flowing robe in which she is clothed.

The world globes itself in a drop of dew. … The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all parts in every moss and cobweb.

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but great are those who in the midst of the crowd keep with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

What a strange power there is in silence. How many resolutions are formed, how many sublime conquests effected, during that pause when lips are closed and the soul secretly feels the eye of her Maker upon her.

Though we travel the world over
To find the beautiful
We must carry it with us
Or we will find it not.
