More quotes by Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi
Don't change the world, change worlds.
Francis of Assisi
Gold hath no lustre of its own. It shines by temperate use alone.
Francis of Assisi
I beg you to show the greatest possible reverence and honor for the most holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things, whether on earth or in heaven, have been brought to peace and reconciled with Almighty God
Francis of Assisi
It would be considered a theft on our part if we didn't give to someone in greater need than we are.
Francis of Assisi
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
Francis of Assisi
What you are looking for is what is looking.

By the anxieties and worries of this life Satan tries to dull man's heart and make a dwelling for himself there.
Francis of Assisi
All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
