Meister Eckhart

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Meister Eckhart
Even though I never did an evil deed, yet, if I have the will to do evil, I have the sin as if I had done the deed and I could, by a total will, do as great a sin as if I had killed the whole world, though I never actually did anything. Why, would the same not be possible to a good will Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.
