Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
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
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
Friendship requires great communication.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
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
Consider all the past as nothing, and say, like David: Now I begin to love my God.
Saint Francis de Sales
We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God. If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear. Let us take breath, and go on afresh.
Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Oh what remorse we shall feel at the end of our lives, when we look back upon the great number of instructions and examples afforded by God and the Saints for our perfection, and so carelessly received by us! If this end were to come to you today, how would you be pleased with the life you have led this year?
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
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
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace 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
Faith fills a man with love for the beauty of its truth, with faith in the truth of its beauty
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
In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.
Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
Saint Francis de Sales
The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other it is a perpetual exercise in mortification.
Saint Francis de Sales
