More quotes by Francois Fenelon
I no longer desire anything but to be Thine.
Francois Fenelon
There is no true and constant gentleness without humility. While we are so fond of ourselves, we are easily offended with others. Let us be persuaded that nothing is due to us, and then nothing will disturb us. Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we will become indulgent towards those of others.
Francois Fenelon
Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer, and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble.
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
Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others, as, by self-examination, thoroughly to know our own.
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
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
All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers... Each one owes infinitely more to the human race than to the particular country in which he was born.
Francois Fenelon
Exactness and neatness in moderation is a virtue, but carried to extremes narrows the mind.
Francois Fenelon
The most essential point is lowliness.
Francois Fenelon
Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a simple movement of heart toward God will renew our powers. Whatever he may demand of us, he will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.
Francois Fenelon
God bears with imperfect beings even when they resist His goodness. We ought to imitate this merciful patience and endurance. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.
Francois Fenelon
True piety hath in it nothing weak, nothing sad, nothing constrained. It enlarges the heart it is simple, free, and attractive.
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
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
Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul.
Francois Fenelon
The history of the world suggests that without love of God there is little likelihood of a love for man that does not become corrupt.
Francois Fenelon
Mankind, by the perverse depravity of their nature, esteem that which they have most desired as of no value the moment it is possessed, and torment themselves with fruitless wishes for that which is beyond their reach.
Francois Fenelon
The realization of God's presence is the one sovereign remedy against temptation.
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
