Meister Eckhart Quotes


A German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in Thuringia.
Eckhart von Hochheim O.P. (c. 1260 – c. 1327), commonly known as Meister Eckhart, was a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in Thuringia. Meister is German for "Master", referring to the academic title Magister in theologia he obtained in Paris. Coming into prominence during the decadent Avignon Papacy and a time of increased tensions between the Franciscans and Eckhart's Dominican Order of Friars Preachers, he was brought up on charges later in life before the local Franciscan-led Inquisition.

Here are some famous quotes by Meister Eckhart.

God is at home it's we who have gone out for a walk.

If the only prayer you say in your whole life is 'Thank you ' that would suffice.

[MysteRy]

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow and to love Him as they love their cow-for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort.
