I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King's daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

Act, and God will act.

I was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.

You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.
