More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.
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
Obedience is a virtue of so excellent a nature, that Our Lord was pleased to mark its observance upon the whole course of His life thus He often says, He did not come to do His Own will, but that of His Heavenly Father.
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
To be pleased at correction and reproofs shows that one loves the virtues which are contrary to those faults for which he is corrected and reproved. And, therefore, it is a great sign of advancement in perfection.
Saint Francis de Sales
There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
People can pass thirty nights in dancing and no one complains about it, but if they watch through a single Christmas night they cough and claim their stomach is upset the next morning. Does anyone fail to see that the world is an unjust judge, gracious and well disposed to its own children but harsh and rigorous towards the children of God?
Saint Francis de Sales
Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.
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
It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.
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
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
