I wish people wouldn't think of me as a saint - unless they agree with the definition of a saint that a saint's a sinner who goes on trying.

A saint is a person who gives of themself without asking for anything in return. That's how simple it is to be a saint. Try it! Try being a saint.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some saint, because I'm not.

I'm no saint. I'm no angel. I never proclaimed to be.

I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.

The more I had to act like a saint, the more I felt like being a sinner.

I have always wanted to become a saint. Unfortunately, when I have compared myself with the saints, I have always found that there is the same difference between the saints and me as there is between a mountain whose summit is lost in the clouds and a humble grain of sand trodden underfoot by passers-by.

Sainthood is acceptable only in saints.

You don't become a saint until you lead a good life whether in Tibet or Italy or America.

My ultimate goal is to become a saint.
