Teresa Of Avila Quotes

Patient endurance Attaineth to all things; who God possesseth In nothing is wanting; alone God sufficeth Picture Quote #1

It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not be always the same Picture Quote #1

Let us look at our own faults, and not other people’s. We ought not to insist on everyone following in our footsteps, nor to take upon ourselves to give instructions in spirituality when, perhaps, we do not even know what it is Picture Quote #1

Don’t be curious of matters that don’t concern you; never speak of them, and don’t ask about them Picture Quote #1

Untilled ground, however rich, will bring forth thistles and thorns; so also the mind of man Picture Quote #1

The words are very distinctly formed; but by the bodily ear they are not heard. They are, however, much more clearly understood than they would be if they were heard by the ear. It is impossible not to understand them, whatever resistance we may offer... there is no escape, for in spite of ourselves we must listen Picture Quote #1

Union is as if in a room there were two large windows through which the light streamed in; it enters in different places but it all becomes one Picture Quote #1

Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use Picture Quote #1

With all this wide and beautiful creation before me, the restless soul longs to enjoy its liberty and rest beyond its bound Picture Quote #1

To argue over who is the more noble is nothing more than to dispute whether dirt is better for making bricks or for making mortar Picture Quote #1

This body of ours has one fault: the more you indulge it, the more things it discovers to be essential to it. It is extraordinary how it likes being indulged Picture Quote #1

Humility, however deep it be, neither disquiets nor troubles nor disturbs the soul; it is accompanied by peace, joy and tranquillity Picture Quote #1

What a miserable life is this! There is no happiness that is secure and nothing that does not change Picture Quote #1

God deliver me from people who are so spiritual that they want to turn everything into perfect contemplation, come what may Picture Quote #1

How friendly we should all be with one another if nobody were interested in money and honor Picture Quote #1

There was the torture of sermons, and that not a slight one, for I was very fond of them Picture Quote #1

I only wish I could write with both hands, so as not to forget one thing while I am saying another Picture Quote #1

Remember that you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life... If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing Picture Quote #1

Out of suffering comes the serious mind; out of salvation, the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance faith. Patient endurance attends to all things Picture Quote #1

True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes Picture Quote #1

To wish to act like angels while we are still in this world is nothing but folly Picture Quote #1

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world Picture Quote #1

It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts Picture Quote #1

Seldom or never is a poor man honored by the world; however worthy of honor he may be, he is apt rather to be despised by it Picture Quote #1

The important thing is not to think much but to love much; do, then, whatever most arouses you to love Picture Quote #1

Suffering is a great favor. Remember that everything soon comes to an end... and take courage. Think of how our gain is eternal Picture Quote #1

If you seek to carry no other crosses but those whose reason you understand, perfection is not for you Picture Quote #1

If we learn to love the earth, we will find labyrinths, gardens, fountains and precious jewels! A whole new world will open itself to us. We will discover what it means to be truly alive Picture Quote #1

There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them Picture Quote #1

Don’t imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well Picture Quote #1
