Therese of Lisieux
I prefer to be accused unjustly, for then I have nothing to reproach myself with, and joyfully offer this to the good Lord. Then I humble myself at the thought that I am indeed capable of doing the thing of which I have been accused.
Therese of Lisieux
God would turn the world around to find suffering in order to give it to a soul upon whom He has set His Divine gaze with ineffable love.

Therese of Lisieux
(Whispered to a novice while standing in front of the convent library) Oh! I would have been sorry to have read all those books...If I had read them, I would have broken my head, and I would have wasted precious time that I could have employed very simply in loving God.
Therese of Lisieux
Let us rise above the things that pass away. Up above, the air is so pure. Jesus can hide Himself but we will find Him there.
Therese of Lisieux
The science of loving, yes, that's the only kind of science I want I'd barter away everything I possess to win it.
Therese of Lisieux
For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.
Therese of Lisieux
Perfection consists in doing His will, in being that which He wants us to be.
Therese of Lisieux
My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.
Therese of Lisieux
The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.
Therese of Lisieux
It is love alone that counts.
Therese of Lisieux
He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.
Therese of Lisieux
And it is the Lord, it is Jesus, Who is my judge. Therefore I will try always to think leniently of others, that He may judge me leniently, or rather not at all, since He says: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.
Therese of Lisieux
