More quotes by 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
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
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
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
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
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have Jesus always for your patron, His Cross for a mast on which you must spread your resolutions as a sail. Your anchor shall be a profound confidence in Him, and you shall sail prosperously.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
Saint Francis de Sales
Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God.
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
Let the enemy rage at the gate let him knock, pound, scream, howl let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.
Saint Francis de Sales
During the night we must wait for the light.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially.
Saint Francis de Sales
One rarely does well what one rarely does.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales
You can attract more bees with a spoonful of sugar than a cupful of vinegar.
Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit for without being seen, they are present with you.
Saint Francis de Sales
