More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
Saint Francis de Sales
Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul, except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.
Saint Francis de Sales
Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Go in all simplicity do not be anxious to win a quiet mind, and it will be all the quieter. Do not examine so closely into the progress of your soul. Do not crave too much to be perfect, but let your spiritual life beformed by your duties, and by the actions which are called forth by circumstances.
Saint Francis de Sales
True virtue has no limits, but goes on and on, and especially holy charity, which is the virtue of virtues, and which having a definite object, would become infinite if it could meet with a heart capable of infinity.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.
Saint Francis de Sales
You learn to love by loving.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.
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
God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not complain then of your poverty, my daughter, - we only complain of that which is unwelcome, and if poverty is unwelcome to you, you are no longer poor in spirit.
Saint Francis de Sales
There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let the enemy rage at the gate let him knock, pound, scream, howl let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendship requires great communication.
Saint Francis de Sales
A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
Saint Francis de Sales
