Love God, love silence…
One who loves God necessarily loves silence.
— Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Humility is strength…
Humility is the surest sign of strength.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Be what we are…
What we have to be is what we are.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Start looking…
Stop thinking and start looking.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
We cannot find him unless…
We cannot find Him unless we know we need Him. We forget this need when we take a self-sufficient pleasure in our own good works. The poor and helpless are the first to find Him, Who came to seek and to save that which was lost.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
The greatness of God…
There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground, and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world.
— Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
