Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!
Therese of LisieuxMiss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.
Therese of LisieuxYou know well that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them.
