A Quote by Aung San Suu Kyi

I wish people wouldn't think of me as a saint - unless they agree with the definition of a saint that a saint's a sinner who goes on trying.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

Nelson Mandela

Whenever anybody called Nelson Mandela a saint, he would say: "If by saint you mean a sinner who is trying to be better, then I'm a saint."

Kumi Naidoo

You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.

Charles Spurgeon

A saint is one to be for two when three and you make five and two and cover. A at most. Saint saint a saint.

Gertrude Stein

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Oscar Wilde

I've been a sinner and a saint. If you've been a saint all your life, it's pretty easy to sleep at night. If you've been a sinner, you're just as comfortable in it.

Killer Mike

People call me a saint and I think, I have to work harder. Because a saint would be a great thing to be.

Paul Farmer

To defend his purity, Saint Francis of Assisi rolled in the snow, Saint Benedict threw himself into a thorn bush, and Saint Bernard plunged into an icy pond... You - what have you done?

Josemaria Escriva

A saint is Christ's bride, totally attached, faithful, dependent. A saint is also totally independent, detached from idols and from other husbands... A saint is higher than anyone else in the world. A saint is the real mountain climber. A saint is also lower than anyone else in the world. As with water, he flows to the lowest places - like Calcutta.

Peter Kreeft

You cannot be half a saint; you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.

Thérèse of Lisieux

A saint is a person who gives of themself without asking for anything in return. That's how simple it is to be a saint. Try it! Try being a saint.

Edward James Olmos

Edward James Olmos

I've been a sinner and a saint. If you've been a saint all your life, it's pretty easy to sleep at night. If you've been a sinner, you're just as comfortable in it. I've walked both sides of the fence, and there are times I can't sleep and I wake the engineer up and get it out of me. But it usually doesn't pour all the way out. I have to come back and have the conversation that you usually try not to have with yourself. That's how it gets resolved.

Killer Mike

When it walks like a saint, and quacks like a saint- it's a quacking saint." -Della

C.C. Hunter

If somebody murders somewhere, I have a part in it. Even if I am a sleeper - I was sleeping, I don´t know about the man, I will never hear about him - and somebody somewhere, in the Himalayas, commits a murder, if we are not individuals I have a part in it, I am also responsible. It is not so easy to throw the responsibility: "I am not committing a murder, I am a saint." No saint is a saint because every sinner is implied in him.

Rajneesh

Saint Augustine cries, Lord I cannot love you, but come in and love yourself in me. According to Saint Paul, we must put off our own natural form and put on the form of God, and Saint Augustine tells us to discard our own mode of nature; then the divine nature will flow in and be revealed. Saint Augustine says, Those who seek and find, find not. He who seeks and finds not, he alone finds. Saint Paul says, What I was, was not I, it was God in me.

Meister Eckhart
