LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
by Meister Eckart
(translated by Constantin von Hoffmeister)
Life is beautiful! - The Earth is no pit of sorrow!
Good is who commits deeds! The deed is everything!
Germans you are - noble in blood!
The noblest part of men is the blood - if it really wants to. But also the worst part of men is the blood - if it wants to be evil.
Noble is the character of the Germans!
God's friends you are - not his slaves! Because you seek the truth!
For this, honor gives you strength!
Honor is a spark of God and the fortress of the soul!
A soul should be noble and free!
The soul is a flame of God! It is vaster than the vast heaven and larger than the cosmos!
