More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Souls do not wish to be bullied, but gently brought back such is the nature of man.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
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
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
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
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
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
You learn to love by loving.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
I recommend to you holy simplicity.
Saint Francis de Sales
One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
Saint Francis de Sales
Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.
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
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
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
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
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
Do not be ashamed of being poor, or of asking alms. Receive what is given you with humility, and accept a refusal meekly. Frequently call to mind Our Lady's journey into Egypt with her Holy Child, and of all the poverty, contempt and suffering they endured. If you follow their example you will indeed be rich amid your poverty.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
Saint Francis de Sales
