Quotes by Esther de Waal

“Wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having few wants.”
― Esther de Waal

“Stability says there must be no evasion; instead attend to the real, to the real necessity however uncomfortable that might be. Stability brings us from a feeling of alienation, perhaps from the escape into fantasy and daydreaming, into the state of reality. It will not allow us to evade the inner truth of whatever it is that we have to do, however dreary and boring and apparently unfruitful that may seem. It involves listening...to the particular demands of whatever this task and this moment in time is asking; no more and no less.”
― Esther de Waal, Seeking God: The Way of St. Benedict
