More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
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
He who complains, sins.
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 shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God. If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear. Let us take breath, and go on afresh.
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
It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.
Saint Francis de Sales
Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God.
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
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
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
It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.
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
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
You learn to love by loving.
Saint Francis de Sales
A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
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
Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in Heaven, and to begin that friendship here which is to endure for ever there.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not complain then of your poverty, my daughter, - we only complain of that which is unwelcome, and if poverty is unwelcome to you, you are no longer poor in spirit.
Saint Francis de Sales
