More quotes by Francois Fenelon
Frequently a big advantage can be gained by knowing how to give in at the right moment.
Francois Fenelon
Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies
Francois Fenelon
Faith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw.
Francois Fenelon
The past but lives in written words: a thousand ages were blank if books had not evoked their ghosts, and kept the pale unbodied shades to warn us from fleshless lips.
Francois Fenelon
In the light of eternity we shall see that what we desired would have been fatal to us, and that what we would have avoided was essential to our well-being.
Francois Fenelon
There is never any peace for those who resist God.
Francois Fenelon
I am not in the least surprised that your impression of death becomes more lively, in proportion as age and infirmity bring it nearer. God makes use of this rough trial to undeceive us in respect to our courage, to make us feel our weakness, and to keep us in all humility in His hands.
Francois Fenelon
How desirable is this simplicity! Who will give it to me? I will quit all else it is the pearl of great price.
Francois Fenelon
Let us endeavor to commence every enterprise with a pure view to the glory of God, continue it without distraction, and finish it without impatience.
Francois Fenelon
There is no real elevation of mind in a contempt of little things it is, on the contrary, from too narrow views that we consider those things of little importance which have in fact such extensive consequences.
Francois Fenelon
Above all, live in the present moment and God will give you all the grace you need.
Francois Fenelon
The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense corrupts the purest souls.
Francois Fenelon
We can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs.
Francois Fenelon
True piety hath in it nothing weak, nothing sad, nothing constrained. It enlarges the heart it is simple, free, and attractive.
Francois Fenelon
The youth who, like a woman, loves to adorn his person, has renounced all claim to wisdom and to glory glory is due to those only who dare to associate with pain, and have trampled pleasure under their feet.
Francois Fenelon
Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul.
Francois Fenelon
It is often our own imperfection which makes us reprove the imperfection of others a sharp-sighted self-love of others
Francois Fenelon
The greatest defect of common education is, that we are in the habit of putting pleasure all on one side, and weariness on the other all weariness in study, all pleasure in idleness.
Francois Fenelon
Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with composure.
Francois Fenelon
I no longer desire anything but to be Thine.
Francois Fenelon
