Teresa of Avila Quotes

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If we learn to love the earth, we will find labyrinths, gardens, fountains and precious jewels! A whole new world will open itself to us. We will discover what it means to be truly alive.

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

People in the world pay little heed to reason where their own interests are involved.
