Teresa of Avila

“Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.” “Do not dismayed, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes.”’“It is love alone that gives worth to all things.”
