“Remember that true humility consists in being ready for what the Lord wants to do with you and happy that he should do it, and in considering yourselves unworthy to be called his servants.”
― Teresa of Ávila, The Way of Perfection

“Humility cannot exist without love, and love cannot exist without humility. It is impossible for these virtues to exist except where there is great detachment from all created things.”
― Teresa of Ávila, The Way of Perfection

“She had often said she wanted to do something splendid, no matter how hard; and now she had her wish,--for what could be more beautiful than to devote her life to father and mother, trying to make home as happy to them as they had to her?”

“Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all, feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come. She did not rebuke Jo with saintly speeches, only loved her better for her passionate affection, and clung more closely to the dear human love, from which our Father never means us to be weaned, but through which He draws us closer to Himself.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
