When God desires to destroy a thing he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.

Uncontrolled the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.

We cannot fashion our children after our desires we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

God's desire is that we excel.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

If thou desire the love of God and man be humble for the proud heart as it loves none but itself is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue nor strength nor reason can prevail.

In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future.

When you relinquish the desire to control your future you can have more happiness.

I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.
