-Bk. I, ch. xvii.

She once said to a young nun working in the infirmary: "If we are truly humble, we readily obey all without distinction. You should consider yourself not merely the little handmaid of the sick, but a slave whom everyone has the right to command, and whose servile condition makes any thought of complaint out of the question."
-Esprit de Sainte Therese.
