More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
Since God often sends us inspirations by means of His angels, we should frequently return our aspirations to him by means of the same messengers.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let God be the air in which your heart breathes at ease.
Saint Francis de Sales
We are sometimes so busy being good angels that we neglect to be good men and women.
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
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and be that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
The declared enemies of God and His Church, heretics and schismatics, must be criticized as much as possible, as long as truth is not denied. It is a work of charity to shout: 'Here is the wolf!' when it enters the flock or anywhere else.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.
Saint Francis de Sales
For every great temptation there will be many small ones. Wolves and bears are more dangerous than flies, but we are bothered most by flies.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.
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
