Prisudzované výroky

„Ty si Boh skrytý v hĺbke duše, kde Božia hĺbka a hĺbka duše sú jedna hĺbka. Čím viac ťa človek hľadá, tým menej ťa dokáže nájsť. Mali by ste ho hľadať takým spôsobom, aby ste ho nikdy nenašli. Keď ho nehľadáte, nájdete ho.“

„Najdôležitejším časom je vždy prítomnosť. Najvýznamnejším človekom je ten, ktorý práve stojí pred tebou. Ale najnevyhnutnejšou činnosťou je vždy láska.“

„Najdôležitejšia hodina je vždy prítomná hodina; najdôležitejším činom je vždy láska.“

Johannes Eckhart citáty a výroky

„Jeden umelec života neraz zaváži ako tisíc.“

„A zrazu si uvedomíte: Je čas začať niečo nové a dôverovať čaru začiatkov.“

„Boh nie je dobrý, inak by konal lepšie.“

„Hádky slúžia v manželstve k tomu, aby si mohol jeden od druhého na chvíľu odpočinúť.“

„Oheň na sviečke sfúkneš, v srdci však nie.“

„Téma Boh zostane vždy nevyčerpateľná. Boh je stále viac než to, čo sa o Bohu dá povedať, vedieť a zakusovať.“

“The inner work is first of all the work of God's grace in the depth of the soul which subsequently distributes itself among the faculties of the soul, in that of Reason appearing as Belief, in that of Will as Love, and in that of Desire as Hope. When the Divine Light penetrates the soul, it is united with God as light with light. This is the light of faith. Faith bears the soul to heights unreachable by her natural senses and faculties.”

Johannes Eckhart: Citáty v angličtine

“Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.”

Sermon VII : Outward and Inward Morality
Meister Eckhart’s Sermons (1909)

“The authorities teach that next to the first emanation, which is the Son coming out of the Father, the angels are most like God. And it may well be true, for the soul at its highest is formed like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God. For this reason the angel was sent to the soul, so that the soul might be re-formed by it, to be the divine idea by which it was first conceived. Knowledge comes through likeness. And so because the soul may know everything, it is never at rest until it comes to the original idea, in which all things are one. And there it comes to rest in God.”

Meister Eckhart: A Modern Translation (1941) by Raymond Bernard Blakney, p. 240

“If a man had no more to do with God than to be thankful, that would suffice.”

Sermon 9, as translated in The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church (1999) by Hughes Oliphant Old, Ch. 9: The German Mystics, p. 449

“If "thank you" is the only prayer you can utter in your lifetime, that would be enough.”

However a quote very similar to this one can actually be found in his works. In Sermon XXVII (Walshe translation/in Quint Sermon XXXIV) we can read:

Middle High German: Haete der mensche niht me ze tuonne mit gote, dan daz er dankbaere ist, ez waere genuoc.

“God wants nothing of you but the gift of a peaceful heart.”

Very commonly attributed to Eckhart on the internet and some publications, the source of the first formulation however is: A Bucket of Surprises‎ (2002) by J. John and Mark Stibbe.

“The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.”

As translated in The Enlightened Mind: An Anthology of Sacred Prose (1991) edited by Stephen Mitchell, p. 115

“The knower and the known are one.”

Circulated on the Internet, this is an amended version of a quote from Eckhart's sermon iusti vivent in aeternum: There are simple people who imagine they are going to see God as if He were standing here and they there. This is not true. God and I are one.
Middle High German: “Sumlîche einveltige liute wænent, sie süln got sehen, als er dâ stande und sie hie. Des enist niht. Got und ich wir sîn ein.”

“The more God is in all things, the more He is outside them. The more He is within, the more without.”

Widely circulated on the Internet, but no actual text to tie it back to Eckhart.
