God would never inspire me with desires which cannot be realized; so in spite of my littleness, I can hope to be a saint.
Therese of LisieuxIf a little flower could speak, it seems to me that it would tell us quite simply all that God has done for it, without hiding any of its gifts. It would not, under the pretext of humility, say that it was not pretty, or that it had not a sweet scent, that the sun had withered its petals,or the storm bruised its stem, if it knew that such were not the case.
Therese of LisieuxNo harm can come to me since, in whatever happens, I see only the tender hand of Jesus.
