QUOTES

Life is a sort of manifestation of Unity within multiplicity, and therefore leads to unity. Life makes one thing the owner of everything.

If knowledge lacks the insight of the heart, it is ignorance.

If the laws of government are not combined with the principles of wisdom, and the bonds of force not combined with the laws of truth, they will not be fruitful among the mass of the people.

A person who sees the good in things has good thoughts. And he who has good thoughts receives pleasure from life.

What gives life to people is hope, while what kills them is despair.

Those who seek everything in materiality know only what their eyes see, and such eyes are blind in spiritual matters.

Life is a manifestation of Unity; Unity is also its consequence.
