Quote

Many of the insights of the saint stem from their experience as sinners.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.

There is no sinner like a young saint.

We have to become saints. We have to become like Christ. Anything less is simply not enough.

Saints are ordinary people who do what they do for the love of Jesus, say what they must say without fear, love their neighbor even when they are cursed by him, and live without regret over yesterday or fear of tomorrow.

Saints are ordinary people who love Jesus, try to be like him, are faithful to the duties of their state in life, sacrifice themselves for their neighbor, and keep their hearts and minds free of this world.

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell.

You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.
