Saints Quotes

I charge thee, satan, housed within this man, to yield possession to my holy prayers, and to thy state of darkness hie thee straight. I conjure thee by all the saints in heaven Picture Quote #1

You are pictures out of doors, bells in your parlors, wildcats in your kitchens, saints in your injuries, devils being offended, players in your housewifery, and housewives in your beds Picture Quote #1

Is there war in our religion? No; neither war nor bloodshed. Yet our enemies cry out bloodshed, and oh, what dreadful men these Mormons are, and those Danites! How they slay and kill! Such is all nonsense and folly in the extreme. The wicked slay the wicked, and they will lay it on the Saints Picture Quote #1

The rigid saint, by whom no mercy's shown to saints whose lives are better than his own Picture Quote #1

Honest men live on charity in their age; the alm houses are full of men who never stole a copper penny. Honest men are the fools and the saints, and you and I are neither Picture Quote #1

I like people to be saints; but I want them to be first and superlatively honest men Picture Quote #1

Universities are, of course, hostile to geniuses, which seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine: as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints Picture Quote #1

Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue Picture Quote #1

All the science of the Saints is included in these two things: To do, and to suffer. And whoever had done these two things best, has made himself most saintly Picture Quote #1

When I look up, I see people cashing in. I don't see heaven or saints or angels. I see people cashing in on every decent impulse and every human tragedy Picture Quote #1

And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn Picture Quote #1

I don’t like your way of conditioning and contracting with the saints. Do this and I’ll do that! Here’s one for t’other. Save me and I’ll give you a taper or go on a pilgrimage Picture Quote #1

On the whole, I am on the side of the unregenerate who affirms the worth of life as an end in itself, as against the saints who deny it Picture Quote #1

The cross is not only imposed upon the saints as their burden, but bequeathed unto them as their legacy. It is given unto them as an honor and privilege Picture Quote #1

Just as the results of inebriety are most painful to the habitually sober, and just as the greatest saints have often been the greatest sinners, so, when the first class brain does something stupid, the stupidity of that occasion is colossal Picture Quote #1

There are few things more disturbing than to find, in somebody we detest, a moral quality which seems to us demonstrably superior to anything we ourselves possess. It augurs not merely an unfairness on the part of creation, but a lack of artistic judgment. Sainthood is acceptable only in saints Picture Quote #1

I didn’t seem to have that effect on anyone but it would have been a waste for both of us to be saints Picture Quote #1

No doubt it is true that there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner repented than over all the saints who consistently remain holy, and the rare, sudden gentlenesses of arrogant people have infinitely more effect than the continual gentleness of gentle people. Arrogance turned gentle melts the heart Picture Quote #1

All of us have a secret desire to be seen as saints, heroes, martyrs. We are afraid to be children, to be ourselves Picture Quote #1

All religions, with their gods, their demigods, and their prophets, their messiahs and their saints, were created by the credulous fancy of men who had not attained the full development and full possession of their faculties Picture Quote #1

When you consider all saints and prophets as legitimate and no longer differentiate between religions, you have reached the stage of true mysticism Picture Quote #1

Never let life’s hardships disturb you. No one can avoid problems, not even saints or sages Picture Quote #1

The thankful heart sees the best part of every situation. It sees problems and weaknesses as opportunities, struggles as refining tools, and sinners as saints in progress Picture Quote #1

No one is innocent in the tide of history. Everyone has kings and slaves in his past. Everyone has saints and sinners. We are not to blame for the actions of our ancestors. We can only try to be the best we can, no matter what our heritage, to strive for a better future for all Picture Quote #1

The church is constituted as a new people who have been gathered from the nations to remind the world that we are in fact one people. Gathering, therefore, is an eschatological act as it is the foretaste of the unity of the communion of the saints Picture Quote #1

Saints and mystics throughout history have adorned their realisations with different names and given them different faces and interpretations, but what they are all fundamentally experiencing is the essential nature of the mind Picture Quote #1

The state of grace is nothing other than purity, and it gives heaven to those who clothe themselves in it. Holiness, therefore, is simply the state of grace purified, illuminated, beautified by the most perfect purity, exempt not only from mortal sin but also from the smallest faults; purity will make saints of you! Everything lies in this! Picture Quote #1

There are but few saints amongst scientists, as among other men, but truth itself is a goal comparable with sanctity Picture Quote #1

Love, like the opening of the heavens to the saints, shows for a moment, even to the dullest person, the possibilities of the human race. One has faith, hope, and charity for another being, perhaps but the creation of the imagination; still it is a great advance for a person to be profoundly loving, even in his or her imagination Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
