More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
Saint Francis de Sales
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.
Saint Francis de Sales
Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.
Saint Francis de Sales
To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can truly say Lord I have no other will than Thine it is truly lost in God and united to Him.
Saint Francis de Sales
A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.
Saint Francis de Sales
Those who commit these types of scandals are guility of the spiritual equivalent of murder, but I, here among you to prevent something far worst for you. While those who give scandal are guilty of the spiritual equivalent of murder, those who take scandal- who allow scandals to destroy faith- are guilty of spiritual suicide.
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
It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is better to remain silent than to speak the truth ill-humoredly, and spoil an excellent dish by covering it with bad sauce.
Saint Francis de Sales
When charity requires it we must freely and mildly communicate to our neighbor not only what is his instruction, but also what is profitable for his consolation.
Saint Francis de Sales
What son would not bring his mother back to life and would not bring her into paradise after her death if he could?
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
If after all your efforts you cannot succeed, you could not please our Lord more than by sacrificing to Him your will, and remaining in tranquility, humility, and devotion, entirely conformed and submissive to His divine will and good pleasure.
Saint Francis de Sales
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is a great imperfection to complain unceasingly of little things.
Saint Francis de Sales
All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
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
