More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.
Saint Francis de Sales
Professions of humility are the very cream, the very essence of pride the really humble person wishes to be, and not to appear so. Humility is timorous, and starts at her shadow and so delicate that if she hears her name pronounced it endangers her existence.
Saint Francis de Sales
By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.
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
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
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
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
By giving yourself to God, You not only receive Himself in exchange, but eternal life as well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales
One rarely does well what one rarely does.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
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
There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
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
God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
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
Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.
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
