Meister Eckhart Quotes

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action Picture Quote #1

I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will! Picture Quote #1

Wisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it Picture Quote #1

One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works do not ennoble us; but we must ennoble our works Picture Quote #1

And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings Picture Quote #1

Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things unless they first stumble in some respect Picture Quote #1

As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that; then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things Picture Quote #1

There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is Picture Quote #1

People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are Picture Quote #1

God is nearer to me than I am to myself; He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it Picture Quote #1

God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction Picture Quote #1

The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell Picture Quote #1

This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else Picture Quote #1

Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy Picture Quote #1

The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth Picture Quote #1

God is a great underground river that no one can dam up and no one can stop Picture Quote #1

And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other Picture Quote #1

There is a huge silence inside each of us that beckons us into itself, and the recovery of our own silence can begin to teach us the language of heaven Picture Quote #1

Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it Picture Quote #1

For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again Picture Quote #1

The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body Picture Quote #1

To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within Picture Quote #1

The most important hour is always the present. The most significant person is precisely the one sitting across from you right now. The most necessary work is always love Picture Quote #1

The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is Picture Quote #1

God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love Picture Quote #1

I have often said that a person who wishes to begin a good life should be like one who draws a circle. Let him or her get the center in the right place and keep it so and the circumference will be good Picture Quote #1

People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be. If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are Picture Quote #1

The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won’t let go of your life: your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away, but they’re not punishing you, they’re freeing your soul. If you’re frightened of dying and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. If you’ve made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth Picture Quote #1
