Additional quotes by Teresa of Ávila

Let us not fail him; do not fear that he will fail you. And if some time he should fail you, it will be for a greater good.

He always gives us much more than we deserve by granting us a spiritual sweetness much greater than we can obtain from the pleasures and distractions of this life.
