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

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.

Aung San Suu Kyi

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

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

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

How precious a book is in light of the offering, in the light of the one who has the privilege of this offering. The library tells you of this offering

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

C.C. Hunter

A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.

Oswald Chambers

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

I want to be a saint, a real saint while I am young, for there is so much work to do.
