More quotes by Francois Fenelon
God has not chosen to save us without crosses as He has not seen fit to create men at once in the full vigor of manhood, but has suffered them to grow up by degrees amid all the perils and weaknesses of youth.
Francois Fenelon
Our piety must be weak and imperfect if it do not conquer our fear of death.
Francois Fenelon
The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.
Francois Fenelon
The Christian life is a long and continual tendency of our hearts toward that eternal goodness which we desire on earth. All our happiness consists in thirsting for it. Now this thirst is prayer. Ever desire to approach your Creator, and you will never cease to pray. Do not think it necessary to pronounce many words.
Francois Fenelon
Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer, and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble.
Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
We must truly serve those whom we appear to command we must bear with their imperfections, correct them with gentleness and patience, and lead them in the way to heaven.
Francois Fenelon
We are never less alone than when we are in the society of a single, faithful friend never less deserted than when we are carried in tne arms of the All-Powerful.
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
Nothing marks so much the solid advancement of a soul, as the view of one's wretchedness without anxiety and without discouragement.
Francois Fenelon
Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.
Francois Fenelon
We can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs.
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
How rare it is to find a soul quiet enough to hear God speak.
Francois Fenelon
The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.
Francois Fenelon
The greatest defect of common education is, that we are in the habit of putting pleasure all on one side, and weariness on the other all weariness in study, all pleasure in idleness.
Francois Fenelon
We are not to choose the manner in which our blessings shall be bestowed.
Francois Fenelon
The realization of God's presence is the one sovereign remedy against temptation.
Francois Fenelon
Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are they who are stripped of every thing, even of their own wills, that they may no longer belong to themselves.
Francois Fenelon
The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.
Francois Fenelon
