Famous quotes by Saint Teresa of Avila:
"Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices."
"Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours, Yours are the eyes through which to look out Christ's compassion to the world Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good; Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now."
"It is love alone that gives worth to all things."
"Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us."
"The important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so do that which best stirs you to love."
"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less."
"If I were to give advice, I would say to parents that they ought to be very careful whom they allow to mix with their children when young; for much mischief thence ensues, and our natural inclinations are unto evil rather than unto good."
"We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials."
"Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him."
"Pain is never permanent."
These quotes capture the essence of her spiritual teachings on love, humility, patience, and the pursuit of a deeper relationship with God.
