More quotes by Francois Fenelon
Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul.
Francois Fenelon
Despondency is not a state of humility on the contrary, it is the vexation and despair of a cowardly pride--nothing is worse whether we stumble or whether we fall, we must only think of rising again and going on in our course.
Francois Fenelon
We are not to choose the manner in which our blessings shall be bestowed.
Francois Fenelon
When you come to be sensibly touched, the scales will fall from your eyes and by the penetrating eyes of love you will discern that which your other eyes will never see.
Francois Fenelon
O Lord, I do most cheerfully commit all unto Thee.
Francois Fenelon
No more restless uncertainties, no more anxious desires, no more impatience at the place we are in for it is God who has placed us there, and who holds us in his arms. Can we be unsafe where he has placed us?
Francois Fenelon
The art of cookery is the art of poisoning mankind, by rendering the appetite still importunate, when the wants of nature are supplied.

Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
I would have every minister of the gospel address his audience with the zeal of a friend, with the generous energy of a father, and with the exuberant affection of a mother.
Francois Fenelon
You really don't even own the present moment, for even this belongs to God.
Francois Fenelon
Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies
Francois Fenelon
The wind of God is always blowing... but you must hoist your sail.
Francois Fenelon
Exactness and neatness in moderation is a virtue, but carried to extremes narrows the mind.
Francois Fenelon
Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.
Francois Fenelon
The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.
Francois Fenelon
Speak, move, act in peace.
Francois Fenelon
The smallest things become great when God requires them of us they are small only in themselves they are always great when they are done for God.
Francois Fenelon
All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers... Each one owes infinitely more to the human race than to the particular country in which he was born.
Francois Fenelon
