Saint Francis de Sales
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall.

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.
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
One great remedy against all manner of temptation, great or small, is to open the heart and lay bare its suggestion, likings, and dislikings before some spiritual adviser for, . . . the first condition which the Evil One makes with a soul, when he wants to entrap it, is silence.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
