Famous quotes containing the words santa and/or teresa:
“On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.”
—Johnny Mercer (1909–1976)
“We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. “I will be a saint” means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make myself a willing slave to the will of God.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
