I want to be like the patron saint of reality.

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.

She was a patron saint of the peripheral.

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

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

An industrious sinner I much prefer to a lazy saint.

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

My father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not.
