Saints rarely have friends they are usually hated and derided, for they love and love is always rejected by hard-hearted men....saints do not advertise themselves good men do not seek out a name in the world....the saints did what they did almost in stealth, asking nothing except that men love God.
Taylor Caldwell
Image
A tree is like a saint. It calls no one to itself, nor does it send anyone away. It offers to protect everyone who wants to come to it, whether this be a man, a woman, a child, or an animal.
Anandamayi Ma
Image
I have no fear of God, and yet fear keeps me awake at night,fear of the devil. And if I believe in the devil, I must believe in God. And if evil is abhorrent to me, I must be a saint. Henry, save me from beatification, from the horrors of static perfection. Precipitate me into the inferno.
Anais Nin
Image
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Your priority has to be the creativity - and build a brand. That's what everybody did - Balenciaga, Dior, Saint Laurent. That's the smart thing to do.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Image
Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.
Wallace Stevens
Image
There is something childish and legalistic about churches in which all of the saints observe precisely the same standards. When all lives begin to sink into the same mould of denial and exercise of liberty, something is amiss.
Walter J Chantry
Image
No one heals himself by wounding another.
Ambrose
Image
Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light.
Ambrose
Image
The Lord was Baptized, not to be cleansed Himself, but to cleanse the waters, so that those waters, cleansed by the flesh of Christ which knew no sin, might have the power of Baptism.
Ambrose
Image
If it is daily bread, why do you take it once a year? . . . Take daily what is to profit you daily. Live in such a way that you may deserve to receive it daily. He who does not deserve to receive it daily, does not deserve to receive it once a year.
Ambrose
Image
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose
Image
In the chapel you prayed to be a saint and now I will make you a god.
Anne Rice
Image
Now my wife may think she's locked me out of the kitchen but MacGyver's not my patron saint for nothing.
Alton Brown
Image
All souls in hell are there because they did not pray. All the saints sanctified themselves by prayer.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Let us read the lives of the saints let us consider the penances which they performed, and blush to be so effeminate and so fearful of mortifying our flesh.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
If we should be saved and become saints, we ought always to stand at the gates of the Divine mercy to beg and pray for, as an alms, all that we need.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
True charity consists in doing good to those who do us evil, and in thus winning them over.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
We must show charity towards the sick, who are in greater need of help. Let us take them some small gift if they are poor, or, at least let us go and wait on them and comfort them.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
For often at Church I've seen the stained high glass Pour out the Virgin and Saints, twist and untwist The mortal youth of Christ astride an ass.
Allen Tate
Image
We're all saints! We all have built into us this intention, the capacities for kindness and creativity and beauty. It's a matter of perspective. As Einstein said, The single most important decision any of us will ever make is whether or not to believe that the universe is friendly. It's your choice.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Not what we think, but what we do, / Makes saints of us: all stiff and cold, / The outlines of the corpse show through / The cloth of gold.
Alice Cary
Image
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Saint Augustine
