An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result."

"It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."
"He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has found the body is superior to the world."
"Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power renounce it."
"Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."
"The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light."
"Wretched is the body that is dependant upon a body, and wretched is the soul that is dependent on these two."

"Woe to the pharisees, for they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat."
"He who will drink from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will be revealed to him."
"Whoever finds the world and becomes rich, let him renounce the world."
"He who is near me is near the fire, and he who is far from me is far from the kingdom."
