More quotes by Francois Fenelon
The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.
Francois Fenelon
The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense corrupts the purest souls.
Francois Fenelon
There is but one way in which God should be loved, and that is to take no step except with Him and for Him, and to follow with a generous self-abandonment every thing which He requires.
Francois Fenelon
The past but lives in written words: a thousand ages were blank if books had not evoked their ghosts, and kept the pale unbodied shades to warn us from fleshless lips.
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
The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.
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
We may be sure that it is the love of God only that can make us come out of self. If His powerful hand did not sustain us, we should not know how to take the first step in that direction.
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
A cross borne in simplicity, without the interference of self-love to augment it, is only half a cross. Suffering in this simplicity of love, we are not only happy in spile of the cross, but because of it for love is pleased in suffering for the Well Beloved, and the cross which forms us into His image is a consoling bond of love.
Francois Fenelon
In the light of eternity we shall see that what we desired would have been fatal to us, and that what we would have avoided was essential to our well-being.
Francois Fenelon
Real friends are our greatest joy and our greatest sorrow. It were almost to be wished that all true and faithful friends should expire on the same day.
Francois Fenelon
Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.
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
Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.
Francois Fenelon
I no longer desire anything but to be Thine.
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
No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades it only makes hypocrites.
Francois Fenelon
Resign every forbidden joy restrain every wish that is not referred to God's will banish all eager desires, all anxiety desire only the will of God seek him alone and supremely, and you will find peace.
Francois Fenelon
Our piety must be weak and imperfect if it do not conquer our fear of death.
Francois Fenelon
