More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.
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
We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
One rarely does well what one rarely does.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and be that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.
Saint Francis de Sales
A good discourse is that from which nothing can be retrenched without cutting into the quick.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
Saint Francis de Sales
We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who complains, sins.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Devil doesn't fear austerity but holy obedience.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendship requires great communication.
Saint Francis de Sales
One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
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
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
