More quotes by Francis of Assisi
A promise is a child of the understanding and the will the understanding begets it, the will brings it forth.
Francis of Assisi
God could not have chosen anyone less qualified, or more of a sinner, than myself. And so, for this wonderful work He intends to perform through us, He selected me- for God always chooses the weak and the absurd, and those who count for nothing.
Francis of Assisi
Do few things but do them well, simple joys are holy.
Francis of Assisi
What is it that stands higher than words? Action. What is it that stands higher than action? Silence.
Francis of Assisi
Where there is injury let me sow pardon.
Francis of Assisi
What you are looking for is what is looking.
Francis of Assisi

...In this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Francis of Assisi
It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.
Francis of Assisi
Lord, help me to live this day, quietly, easily. To lean upon Thy great strength, trustfully, restfully. To wait for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely. To meet others, peacefully, joyously. To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously.
Francis of Assisi
I therefore command all my Brothers, those living now and those to come in the future, to venerate the Holy Mother of God, whom we always implore to be our Protectress, to praise her at all times, in all circumstances of life, with all the means in their power and with the greatest devotion and submission.
Francis of Assisi
Gold hath no lustre of its own. It shines by temperate use alone.
Francis of Assisi
A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.
Francis of Assisi
We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen away, and to bring home those who have lost their way. Many who seem to us to be children of the Devil will still become Christ's disciples.
Francis of Assisi
Water is the mirror of nature.
Francis of Assisi
The only thing ever achieved in life without effort is failure.
Francis of Assisi
Do not put off any longer confessing all your sins, for death will soon come. Give and it will be given you forgive and you will be forgiven. . . Blessed are they who die repentant, for they shall go to the Kingdom of Heaven!
Francis of Assisi
You should never praise anyone until you see how he turns out in the end!
Francis of Assisi
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist
