More quotes by Francois Fenelon
Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.
Francois Fenelon
Speak, move, act in peace, as if you were in prayer. In truth, this is prayer.
Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
So long as we are full of self we are shocked at the faults of others. Let us think often of our own sin, and we shall be lenient to the sins of others.
Francois Fenelon
Of all the duties enjoined by Christianity none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer.
Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
The realization of God's presence is the one sovereign remedy against temptation.
Francois Fenelon
Pity enlarges the heart.
Francois Fenelon
God is so good that He only awaits our desire to overwhelm us with the gift of himself.
Francois Fenelon
Nothing marks so much the solid advancement of a soul, as the view of one's wretchedness without anxiety and without discouragement.

O Lord, I do most cheerfully commit all unto Thee.
Francois Fenelon
