Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother TeresaThen we have the silence of the eyes which will always help us to see God. Our eyes are like two windows through which Christ or the world comes to our hearts. Often we need great courage to keep them closed. How often we say, I wish I had not seen this thing, and yet we take so little trouble to overcome the desire to see everything.
Mother TeresaWe realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
