4 Quotes by Ana Smiljanic

Our relationship toward our fellow men defines our relationship toward God.

Our starting point is always wrong. Instead of beginning with ourselves, we always want to change others first and ourselves last. If everyone were to begin first with themselves, then there would be peace all around!

Freedom belongs to God. When a person is free from the tyranny of thoughts, that is freedom. When he lives in peace, that is freedom. He is always in prayer, he is always expecting help from the Lord – he listens to his conscience and does his best.

If someone were to take this from them, they would become desperate. Many times the powers of evil bring such people to the brink of self-destruction.
