More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Trouble that is easily recognized is half-cured.
Saint Francis de Sales
A good discourse is that from which nothing can be retrenched without cutting into the quick.
Saint Francis de Sales
Faith fills a man with love for the beauty of its truth, with faith in the truth of its beauty
Saint Francis de Sales
One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
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
Don't get upset with your imperfections. It's a great mistake because it leads nowhere - to get angry because you are angry, upset at being upset, depressed at being depressed, disappointed because you are disappointed. So don't fool yourself. Simply surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is always greater than our weakness.
Saint Francis de Sales
To be pleased at correction and reproofs shows that one loves the virtues which are contrary to those faults for which he is corrected and reproved. And, therefore, it is a great sign of advancement in perfection.
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
All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.
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
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
By giving yourself to God, You not only receive Himself in exchange, but eternal life as well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have Jesus always for your patron, His Cross for a mast on which you must spread your resolutions as a sail. Your anchor shall be a profound confidence in Him, and you shall sail prosperously.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
Saint Francis de Sales
God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Saint Francis de Sales
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.
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
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
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
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales
