More quotes by Francois Fenelon

Francois Fenelon
To will everything that God wills, and to will it always, in all circumstances and without reservations: that is the kingdom of God which is entirely within.
Francois Fenelon
No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades it only makes hypocrites.
Francois Fenelon
It is often our own imperfection which makes us reprove the imperfection of others a sharp-sighted self-love of others
Francois Fenelon
Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with composure.
Francois Fenelon
Time spent in prayer is never wasted.
Francois Fenelon
There is never any peace for those who resist God.
Francois Fenelon
