More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall. I am glad that you make a daily new beginning there is no better means of progress in the spiritual life than to be continually beginning afresh, and never to think that we have done enough.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.

Saint Francis de Sales
He who complains, sins.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.
Saint Francis de Sales
The spirit cannot endure the body when overfed, but, if underfed, the body cannot endure the spirit.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.
Saint Francis de Sales
Oh what remorse we shall feel at the end of our lives, when we look back upon the great number of instructions and examples afforded by God and the Saints for our perfection, and so carelessly received by us! If this end were to come to you today, how would you be pleased with the life you have led this year?
Saint Francis de Sales
It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially.
Saint Francis de Sales
Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.
Saint Francis de Sales
The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other it is a perpetual exercise in mortification.
Saint Francis de Sales
Doing little things with a strong desire to please God makes them really great.
Saint Francis de Sales
