More quotes by 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
We must avoid fastidiousness neatness, when it is moderate, is a virtue but when it is carried to an extreme, it narrows the mind.
Francois Fenelon
Even if no command to pray had existed, our very weakness would have suggested it.
Francois Fenelon
Speak, move, act in peace.
Francois Fenelon
The greatest of all crosses is self. If we die in part every day, we shall have but little to do on the last. These little daily deaths will destroy the power of the final dying.
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
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
True love goes ever straight forward, not in its own strength, but esteeming itself as nothing. Then indeed we are truly happy. The cross is no longer a cross when there is no self to suffer under it.
Francois Fenelon
If we were faultless, we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate. If we were to acknowledge honestly that we have not virtue enough to bear patiently with our neighbor's weaknesses, we should show our own imperfection, and this alarms our vanity.
Francois Fenelon
Listen less to your own thoughts and more to God's thoughts.
Francois Fenelon
Most people I ask little from. I try to give them much, and expect nothing in return and I do very well in the bargain.
Francois Fenelon
That love of self, which the world advocates, is a thousand times more dangerous than any poison.
Francois Fenelon
No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades it only makes hypocrites.
Francois Fenelon
Make this simple rule the guide of your life: to have no will but God's.
Francois Fenelon
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.
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
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
O Lord, I do most cheerfully commit all unto Thee.
Francois Fenelon
Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies
Francois Fenelon
Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.
Francois Fenelon
