More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
I have the same opinion of dances that physicians have of mushrooms: the best of them are good for nothing.
Saint Francis de Sales
Many would be willing to have afflictions provided that they not be inconvenienced by them.
Saint Francis de Sales
We are sometimes so busy being good angels that we neglect to be good men and women.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Saint Francis de Sales
He prays well who is so absorbed with God that he does not know he is praying.
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
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
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales
A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.
Saint Francis de Sales
While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall, who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice.
Saint Francis de Sales
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Prayer of the sick person is his patience and his acceptance of his sickness for the love of Jesus Christ. Make sickness itself a prayer, for there is none more powerful, save martyrdom!
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
Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.
Saint Francis de Sales
If we say a little it is easy to add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success.
Saint Francis de Sales
Obedience is a consecration of the heart, chastity of the body, and poverty of all worldly goods to the Love and Service of God. Blessed indeed are the obedient, for God will never permit them to go astray.
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
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
Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Saint Francis de Sales
