More quotes by Francois Fenelon
The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.
Francois Fenelon
Accustom yourself gradually to carry Prayer into all your daily occupation - speak, act, work in peace, as if you were in prayer, as indeed you ought to be.
Francois Fenelon
Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgments by it? Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.
Francois Fenelon
It is better to die than to tell a lie
Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
There is never any peace for those who resist God.
Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
If we were faultless we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate.
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
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
No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades it only makes hypocrites.
Francois Fenelon
The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.
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
The realization of God's presence is the one sovereign remedy against temptation.
Francois Fenelon
