![God would not make me wish for something impossible and so, in spite of my littleness, I can aim at being a saint. It is impossible for me to grow bigger, so I put up with myself as I am, with all my countless faults. But I will look for some means of going to heaven by a little way which is very short and very straight, a little way that is quite new[...] It is your arms,
Jesus, which are the lift to carry me to heaven, And so there is no need for me to grow up. In fact, just the opposite: I must stay little and become less and less.](/assets/img/quote-photos/god-would-not-make-me-wish-for-something-impossible-and-so-in-spite-of-my-little.jpg)

He taught that you must love your neighbor whether he's a crook, a beggar, whether he's rich or poor. Frank Capra
