More quotes by Francois Fenelon
God is so good that He only awaits our desire to overwhelm us with the gift of himself.
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
O Lord! take my heart, for I cannot give it and when Thou hast it, O! keep it, for I cannot keep it for Thee and save me in spite of myself, for Jesus Christ's sake.
Francois Fenelon
Above all, live in the present moment and God will give you all the grace you need.
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
God bears with imperfect beings even when they resist His goodness. We ought to imitate this merciful patience and endurance. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.
Francois Fenelon
Had we not faults of our own, we should take less pleasure in complaining of others.
Francois Fenelon
When kings interfere in matters of religion, they enslave instead of protecting it.
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
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
Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.
Francois Fenelon
Discouragement is simply the despair of wounded self-love.
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
Oh! how seldom the soul is silent, in order that God may speak.
Francois Fenelon
The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.
Francois Fenelon
The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.
Francois Fenelon
There is never any peace for those who resist God.
Francois Fenelon
Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a simple movement of heart toward God will renew our powers. Whatever he may demand of us, he will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.
Francois Fenelon
How different the peace of God from that of the world! It calms the passions, preserves the purity of the conscience, is inseparable from righteousness, unites us to God and strengthens us against temptations. The peace of the soul consists in an absolute resignation to the will of God.
Francois Fenelon
