My ultimate goal is to become a saint.

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.

I want to be like the patron saint of reality.

To be a great man and a saint for oneself, that is the only important thing.

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.

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

I am not going to say I have been a saint. I have not been a perfect man. None is perfect but the Father, which is in Heaven.

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

My basic philosophy is that no human being is a saint.

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