Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes on spirituality

11. For myself I make no secret, I look forward with eager desire to seeing the matchless beauty of Christ's body in the heavenly light.

24. Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread; World's strand, sway of the sea; Lord of living and dead; Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh, And after it almost unmade, what with dread, Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh? Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.

36. I walk, I lift up, I lift up heart, eyes, Down all that glory in the heavens to glean our Saviour.

70. It is not only prayer that gives God glory but work. Smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives God some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.
