Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol as you...

There is a bench in the back of my garden shaded by Virginia creeper, climbing roses, and a white pine where I sit early in the morning and watch the action. Light blue bells of...

Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.

If you retain the joyous aftereffects of meditation throughout the day, or part of the day, you will see that this joy will correctly guide you in everything. Saints are guided by this joy, in...

Many people genuinely do not wish to be saints, and it is possible that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never had much temptation to be human beings.

It is a persistent evil to persecute a man who belongs to the grace of God. It is a calamity without remedy to hate the happy.

Repetita iuvant. Italy, a land of great saints, poets, sailors, artists, statesmen, businessmen, lawyers, intellectuals, professors, journalists, whores, gangsters, religious parasites and dickheads.

But personally, I think [sainthood] is not so much the growth of virtue, as simply the replacement of prior vices with an addiction to one’s god.

Before passing through the gates of a town I’ve never visited, I take a minute to salute its saints – the dead and the living, the known and the hidden. Never in my life have...

Reflect carefully on this, for it is so important that I can hardly lay too much stress on it. Fix your eyes on the Crucified and nothing else will be of much importance to you.

If oppression produced saints, we’d want everyone to be oppressed.

We’re going to make every effort to keep the Saints as Louisiana’s team.

…The life of the parents is the only thing that makes good children. Parents should be very patient and ‘saintlike’ to their children. They should truly love their children. And the children will share this...

The Lives of the Saints’ is brand new here. It’s a premiere.

We want to ensure that the entire Saints community sees how committed that we are to this state and how much we want to find a long-term resolution to a very difficult and complex matter.

In some ways, the state might be better off without the Saints. They are expensive, and the building remains a magnet for bringing people and events into the city.

May God protect me from gloomy saints.

The peace of the celestial city is the perfectly ordered and harmonious enjoyment of God, and of one another in God. (City of God, Book 19)

As I recall, St. Paul stood by and held the coats of the men who were stoning him (Stephen). Apparently he wasn’t a believer at the time. In fact, I think he was regarded as...

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a...

My house was a guest house of many Jaina saints, Hindu monks, Sufi mystics, because my grandfather was interested in all of these people.

The Saints are Louisiana’s team and have been since the late ’60s when my predecessor Pete Rozelle welcomed them to the league as New Orleans’ team and Louisiana’s team. Our focus continues to be on...

The Saints are overall one of the best matchups we’ll see. [Michael] Lewis is one of the fastest and most elusive returners in the league. They also can block punts, so we know the coverage...

God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.

The only difference between a saint and a pervert is Hypocrisy.

[Saint Anthony] said, in his solitude, he sometimes encountered devils who looked like angels, and other times he found angels who looked like devils. When asked how he could tell the difference, the saint said...

Only the poet or the saint can water an asphalt pavement in the confident anticipation that lilies will reward his labour.

The pages of history are red with the blood of illuminated “saints” who were murdered by their religions for actually achieving the advertised spiritual rewards.

We have to keep emphasizing the importance of the Saints representing the entire region and make everyone understand this city has been hit so hard it takes the entire region to make it work.

We would never call inexplicable little insights ‘hunches,’ for fear of drawing the universe’s attention. But they happened, and you knew you had been in the proximity of one that had come through if you...

We want our Saints, we may not want the owner back.

Don’t fool yourself, my dear. You’re much worse than a bitch. You’re a saint. Which shows why saints are dangerous and undesirable.

Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell.

The saints, too, had wandering minds. The saints, too, had constantly to recall their constantly wandering mind-child home. They became saints because they continued to go after the little wanderer, like the Good Shepherd.

The saint is the apology for the Christian religion. He is holy, however, because he allows Christ to live in him and it is in Christ that he “glories”.

There is no sinner like a young saint.
