Francois Fenelon
Pure love is in the will alone it is no sentimental love, for the imagination has no part in it it loves, if we may so express it, without feeling, as faith believes without seeing.
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
God never ceases to speak to us, but the noise of the world without and the tumult of our passions within bewilder us and prevent us from listening to him
Francois Fenelon
There is nothing that is more dangerous to your own salvation, more unworthy of God and more harmful to your own happiness, than that you should be content to remain as you are.
Francois Fenelon
Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.
Francois Fenelon
