Hildegard von Bingen

All the works of the Lord are good, and He has made them all in their time.

The earth is the mother of all, and all that is in the earth is for the use of man.

Let the human being be a vessel of God's grace, and let the human being be a mirror of God's creation.

The soul is in the body as a bird in a cage, and it longs to fly away.

The human being is a microcosm, a little world, in which all the elements of the great world are contained.

God has given to every creature its own nature, and to every nature its own use.

The greenness of the earth is the life of the soul.

The human body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and it should be kept pure and clean.

The human being is a garden, and it should be cultivated with care.

The human being is a harp, and it should be tuned to the praise of God.

The human being is a book, and it should be read with understanding.

The human being is a mirror, and it should reflect the glory of God.

The human being is a song, and it should be sung with joy.

The human being is a light, and it should shine in the darkness.

The human being is a flower, and it should bloom in its season.

The human being is a tree, and it should bear fruit in its time.

The human being is a river, and it should flow to the sea.

The human being is a star, and it should shine in the heavens.

The human being is a sun, and it should give light to the world.

The human being is a moon, and it should reflect the light of the sun.
