More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.
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
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
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
Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.
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
Many would be willing to have afflictions provided that they not be inconvenienced by them.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.
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
During the night we must wait for the light.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
Saint Francis de Sales
There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.
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
Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.
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
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
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Saint Francis de Sales
