I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.

More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
What a joy to remember that she is our Mother! Since she loves us and knows our weakness, what have we to fear?
Therese of Lisieux
Love is nourished only by sacrifices, and the more a soul refuses natural satisfactions, the stronger and more disinterested becomes her tenderness.
Therese of Lisieux
Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.
Therese of Lisieux
The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings.
Therese of Lisieux
Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be and becoming that person.
Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux
I am very far from practicing what I understand.
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
My vocation, at last I have found it my vocation is love.
Therese of Lisieux
Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.
Therese of Lisieux
Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth they make us look higher than this world.
Therese of Lisieux
You cannot be half a saint you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.
Therese of Lisieux
(Her last words) Oh! I love Him! My God, I love You!
Therese of Lisieux
i can nourish myself on nothing but truth
