Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.

Saint Francis de Sales
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.
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
It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.
Saint Francis de Sales
One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
Saint Francis de Sales
A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.

Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
