Only the saints would joke so about the gods, because it was either joke or scream, and they alone knew it was all the same to the gods.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Image
Don't neglect your spiritual reading. - Reading has made many saints.
Josemaria Escriva
Image
My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd. This Land of Saints, and then as the applause died out, Of plaster Saints his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.
William Butler Yeats
Image
I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Image
Over the last 2,000 years, 10,000 saints have been named, among them, 78 popes. At the time of his death, Pope John Paul II had the distinction of naming 482 saints, more than all of his predecessors combined.

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
Nan Goldin

There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis
Image
It was a miracle it was all a miracle: and one ought to have known, from the sufferings of saints, that miracles are horror.
Nadine Gordimer
Image
There is nothing in my teachings to the Church or in those of my associates, during the time specified, which can be reasonably construed to inculate or encourage polygamy... And I now publicly declare that my advice to the Latter-day Saints is to refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the law of the land.
Wilford Woodruff
Image
President Wilford Woodruff is a man of wisdom and experience, and we respect and venerate him, but we do not believe his personal views or utterances are revelations from God and when Thus saith the Lord, comes from him, the saints investigate it: they do not shut their eyes and take it down like a pill.
Charles W. Penrose
Image
[Dom Juan] believes neither in Heaven, nor the saints, nor God, nor the Werewolf.
Moliere
Image
There are mythic patterns under all of our lives. Each one of us, often unbeknownst to ourselves, is engaged in a drama of soul that is not reserved only for gods, heroes, and saints. Story is one bridge between the human realm and the divine.
Deena Metzger

The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.
Nan Goldin

Image
It is the great support and solace of the saints in all the distresses that befall them here, that there is a wise Spirit sitting in all the wheels of motion, and governing the most eccentric creatures and their most pernicious designs to blessed and happy issues.
John Flavel
Image
Will not the Lord hear my prayers and listen to my cries as soon as he ever did to theirs [the ancient saints'] if I come to him in the manner they did?
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
John Vianney
Image
You were a soldier? Yes, sir. You barely look old enough to have seen the last battle. My father was a career army man, sir. I was there at the first engagement with Analousia, and took up my father's rifle when I was barely fifteen. Saints preserve us, Dr. Kelling said, and squeezed Galen's shoulder. What have we done to our y
