More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
God requires a faithful fulfillment of the merest trifle given us to do, rather than the most ardent aspiration to things to which we are not called.
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 is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.
Saint Francis de Sales
Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Saint Francis de Sales
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.
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
Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.
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
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
Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.
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
Souls do not wish to be bullied, but gently brought back such is the nature of man.
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 fret under such assistance as is needful therein lies one great grace of poverty. It were overambitious to aim at being poor without suffering any inconvenience, in other words, to have the credit of poverty and the convenience of riches.
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
Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
Saint Francis de Sales
There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.
Saint Francis de Sales
