For as long as I could remember, other people had either overshadowed me or left me out in the open, alone. But Mac, as Layla had said all those weeks ago, was always somewhere nearby. He left me enough space to stand alone, but stood at the ready for the moment that I didn’t want to. It was the perfect medium, I was learning. Like he was my saint, the one I’d been waiting for.
Sarah Dessen
Saints are slaves of good works.Sages are slaves of wisdom.Conquerors are slaves of victory.
Matshona Dhliwayo
We designate the spirit of the well as 'she' because in most of her personifications she takes a female form, though not invariably. She appears in many guises - ghost, witch, saint, mermaid, fairy, and sometimes in animal form, often as a sacred fish - and her presence permeates well lore, and indeed water lore generally.
Colin Bord
No one showed any signs of recognizing me. I didn't know what I'd do if they did, other than lie like a devil and pray like a saint.
Rodney Jones
He lived like a devil and died like a saint
Haidji
If Hitch were a person, he'd be Mother Theresa or Gandhi or someone who treated all living creatures with the respect they deserve. It's depressing how my dog is a better human being than I am.
McCall Hoyle
What matters is the sinner becomes a saint through the grace of salvation in Christ Jesus.
Lailah Gifty Akita
To so many people, the Lord is in danger of being no more than a patron saint of our systematic theology instead of the Christ Who is our life.
W. Ian Thomas
You think me noble?” She rolled to her side facing him. “Am I saint-like? Do I slay dragons and hang the moon as well?
Jessica Fortunato
Great men are great until they know it. Saints are holy until they know it.
Idries Shah
...I put you on the pedestal - made you a saint - dare I blaspheme?...
John Geddes
Saintliness is very odd. When people encounter it, they often take it for something else, something completely unlike it: indifference, mockery, scheming, coldness, insolence, perhaps even contempt. But they're mistaken, and that makes them furious. They commit an awful crime. This is doubtless the reason why most saints end up as martyrs.
Philippe Claudel
I’m nothing but a thought in the mind of God,I’m Satan’s slave; I open my eyes and flee, I’m mankind, I worship, and I kill,All in the name of Love, hateI’m the slaughtered lamb, I’m luzbel I’m the one paying for your sins,I’m your son; I am your mom and dad,I’m the one, who worships God, I’m a killer and a saint,I’m just a thought in the mind of God.I laugh and I suffer, I get killed, and I kill others,I’m nothing but a thought in the mind of GodI’m compassion and rage, I love, I cheat, and I lie, I tell the truth, I’m dead, I’m alive, I’m in hell, the place people called paradise,I am just a thought in the mind of God
Quetzal
The true saint goes in and out amongst the people and eats and sleeps with them and buys and sells in the market and marries and takes part in social intercourse, and never forgets God for a single moment.
Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir
Sanity for anyone is pretty much out of the question, as both the saint and the sinner appear only equally insane: the saint appears it for actually believing in a place of eternal torment; the sinner, for deciding to risk going to that place of eternal torment.
Criss Jami
It's easy to be a saint when all you've known is the good.
Donna Lynn Hope
The here, the now and the individual have always been the special concern of the saint, the artist, the poet and -- from time immemorial--the woman.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Character isn't all about becoming a saint or perfect. No one is perfect! There are areas we all are working on to improve and fine tune..
Assegid Habtewold
The distinction between a delusion and a lie is the very difference between a successful saint and a fraud.
Manu Joseph
It must be said that charity can, in no way, exist along with mortal sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Willmore: There is no sinner like a young saint.
Aphra Behn
There are no saints either. We are immortal, but not so unlike the humans as you think. We have enemies, we have duties, we hate, we struggle, and we love.
Jessica Fortunato
You are a cool cemetery.You have the sinner’s graveYou have the saint’s earthcollidingYou have all the bedsnarrow as a knife;as if a rally of tombstones to defend death.But you can’t really postponethe inauguration of my burial,can you?From the poem - Few Words to Cemetery
Munia Khan
Progress in evil was quick and easy; Apollyon was not a chap who hid himself and he gave every assistance in his power. The growth in goodness was so slow, at times so flat, so dull, and like the White Queen one had to run so fast to stay where one was, let alone progress; and there were few men who dared to say they had found God. It was easy to be a clever sinner, for the race to an earthly visible goal was short to run, so impossibly hard to be a wise saint, with the goal set at so vast a distance from this world and clouded with such uncertainty.
Elizabeth Goudge
The only real sadness, the only real failure, the only great tragedy in life, is not to become a saint.
Léon Bloy
Even the kindest saint does have their own adversary
Joshua De Vera Bautista
I would rather be a conscious wrongdoer than a mindless saint.
Habeeb Akande
There is no sin, no crime, no evil, God cannot forgive
Bangambiki Habyarimana
A man is called a saint not because he does no longer sin but because he recognizes his weakness and seeks for forgiveness every time he falls
Bangambiki Habyarimana
A man is called a sinner not because he sins more than others but because he defends he sins and glories in them and is unwilling to seek forgiveness
Bangambiki Habyarimana
We are all sinful. Trouble is that some men consider themselves less sinful than others or holier than others.
Bangambiki Habyarimana
One of the great Sufis said: 'A saint is a saint unless he knows that he is one.
Idries Shah
Good parents use the mistakes they did in the past when they were young to advice the children God gave to them to prevent them from repeating those mistakes again. However, bad parents always want to be seen as right and appear "angelic and saintly" as if they never had horrible youth days.
Israelmore Ayivor
Each of you has a personal vocation which He has given you for your own joy and sanctity. When a person is conquered by the fire of His gaze, no sacrifice seems too great to follow Him and give Him the best of ourselves. This is what the saints have always done, spreading the light of the Lord ... and transforming the world into a welcoming home for everyone.
Pope Benedict XVI
Maybe when we face a tragedy, someone, somewhere is preventing a bigger tragedy from happening.
Kamand Kojouri
I'm not a saint! Thanks God!
Ljupka Cvetanova
How like God's love yours has been to me- so wise, so generous, and so unsparing!" exclaimed Pancratius. "Promise me one thing more- that is, that you will stay near to me to the end, and carry my last legacy to my mother.
Nicholas Wiseman
Is there any saint without a sin?
Lailah Gifty Akita
There is hope for the sinner to be made a saint.
Lailah Gifty Akita
For a Siddhar yogi, time is precious. It is important to utilize every moment to evolve into ever higher states of consciousness. We understand stagnancy as decay and for growth, we constantly discard the old to welcome change as the new. We tap into the magical abilities to evolve. "Every saint was a sinner in the past" maxim holds true. In the intensity of our yogic pursuit we evolve quickly. By evolving, we know that is the greatest gift of a lifetime we could ever receive- to be angelic as a being of consciousness. Consciousness is ever evolving and dynamic in transforming.
Nandhiji
Oh, he understood very well that for the meek soul of a simple Russian, exhausted by grief and hardship and, above all, by constant injustice and sin, his own or the world's, there was no stronger need than to find a holy shrine or a saint to prostrate himself before and to worship.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
There is salvation for every soul.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald Chambers
Shamrocks And roses In an ever green flock Now Up to your noses Turning into a high stock! People nice and seen All around you green! These lucky streams Realizing major dreams. In strives, when in pain Call oh call up my name, Know it isn't in vain...
Ana Claudia Antunes
The only person to influence the direction and purpose of your life is the one who gave it. God!
Israelmore Ayivor
Love without restraint makes one saint and the other faint the sweetest face and the tenderest embrace bring the sun to every place in such grace.
Ana Claudia Antunes

If the saints fails to declare the truth, the Holy Spirit shall teach true words of God.
