Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen?
Teresa of AvilaHow friendly we should all be with one another if nobody were interested in money and honor.
Teresa of AvilaBefore prayer, endeavour to realise Whose Presence you are approaching and to Whom you are about to speak, keeping in mind Whom you are addressing. If our lives were a thousand times as long as they are we should never fully understand how we ought to behave towards God, before Whom the very Angels tremble, Who can do all He wills, and with Whom to wish is to accomplish.
Teresa of Avila
