Meister Eckhart Firsts Quotations

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

To get at the core of God at his greatest, one must first get to the core of himself at his least, for no one can know God who has not first known himself. This core is a simple stillness, which is unmoved itself but by whose immobility all things are moved and all receive life.

Remember this: all suffering comes to an end. And whatever you suffer authentically, God has suffered from it first.

The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.

Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion.

Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things unless they first stumble in some respect.
