One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will.

If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.

[Before being burned at the stake for her faith:] Hold the cross high so I may see it through the flames.

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King's daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.

It is true I wished to escape; and so I wish still: is not this lawful for all prisoners?

I die for speaking the language of the angels.
