We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.

More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
One rarely does well what one rarely does.
Saint Francis de Sales

Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.
Saint Francis de Sales
We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.
Saint Francis de Sales
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Saint Francis de Sales
In so far as divine love beautifies our souls. And makes us pleasing to His divine Majesty, it is called grace in so far as it gives us strength to do good, it is called charity but when it reaches such a degree of perfection, that it makes us not only do the good, but do so carefully, frequently and readily, then it is called devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
During the night we must wait for the light.
Saint Francis de Sales
I see crosses at every turn. My flesh shudders over it, but my heart adores them. Yes, I hail you, crosses little and great, I hail you, and kiss your feet, unworthy of the honor of your shadow.
Saint Francis de Sales
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendship requires great communication.
Saint Francis de Sales
Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.
Saint Francis de Sales
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be not miserable about what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father, who cares for you today, will care for you tomorrow.
Saint Francis de Sales
If, when stung by slander or ill-nature, we wax proud and swell with anger, it is a proof that our gentleness and humility are unreal, and mere artificial show.
Saint Francis de Sales
By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.
Saint Francis de Sales
God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Saint Francis de Sales
