One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God. – Meister Eckhart
If God gave the soul his whole creation she would not be filled thereby but only with himself. – Meister Eckhart
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we dont know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an oxs or bears, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there. – Meister Eckhart
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion. – Meister Eckhart
