Thomas Merton Quotes

The Fruitfulness Of Our Life Depends In Large Measure On Our Ability To Doubt Our Own Words And To Question The Value Of Our Own Work. The Man Who Completely Trusts His Own Estimate Of Himself Is Doomed To Sterility. All He Asks Of Any Act He Performs Is That It Be His Act. If It Is Performed By Him, It Must Be Good. All Words Spoken By Him Must Be Infallible. The Car He Has Just Bought Is The Best For Its Price, For No Other Reason Than That He Is The One Who Has Bought It. He Seeks No Other Fruit Than This, And Therefore He Generally Gets No Other.
