More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and be that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendship requires great communication.
Saint Francis de Sales
Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.
Saint Francis de Sales
Souls do not wish to be bullied, but gently brought back such is the nature of man.
Saint Francis de Sales
Many would be willing to have afflictions provided that they not be inconvenienced by them.
Saint Francis de Sales
People can pass thirty nights in dancing and no one complains about it, but if they watch through a single Christmas night they cough and claim their stomach is upset the next morning. Does anyone fail to see that the world is an unjust judge, gracious and well disposed to its own children but harsh and rigorous towards the children of God?
Saint Francis de Sales
Obedience is a virtue of so excellent a nature, that Our Lord was pleased to mark its observance upon the whole course of His life thus He often says, He did not come to do His Own will, but that of His Heavenly Father.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.
Saint Francis de Sales
Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Saint Francis de Sales
The highest point of humility consists in not merely acknowledging one's abjection, but in taking pleasure therein, not from any want of breadth or courage, but to give the more glory to God's Divine Majesty, and to esteem one's neighbour more highly than one's self.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Saint Francis de Sales
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
Saint Francis de Sales
Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.
Saint Francis de Sales
To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can truly say Lord I have no other will than Thine it is truly lost in God and united to Him.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not fret under such assistance as is needful therein lies one great grace of poverty. It were overambitious to aim at being poor without suffering any inconvenience, in other words, to have the credit of poverty and the convenience of riches.
Saint Francis de Sales
