- Vincent de Paul a divinement fixé la figure de la soeur de charité dans ces admirables paroles où il mêle tant de **liberté** à tant de servitude: «Elles n'auront pour monastère que la maison des malades, pour cellule qu'une chambre de louage, pour chapelle que l'église de leur paroisse, pour cloître que les rues de la ville ou les salles des hôpitaux, pour clôture que l'obéissance, pour grille que la crainte de Dieu, pour voile que la modestie.»
