Therese of Lisieux Ideas Quotations

The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.

Trying to do good to people without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight. You discover that you've got to abandon all your own preferences, your own bright ideas, and guide souls along the road our Lord has marked out for them. You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing.
