Quotes

If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly. Meister Eckhart
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage. Meister Eckhart
Whoever possesses God in their being has Him in a divine manner, and He shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see. Meister Eckhart
There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created. Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart quote: "My Lord told me a joke. And seeing Him laugh has done more..."
My Lord told me a joke. And seeing Him laugh has done more for me than any scripture I will ever read. Meister Eckhart
