More quotes by 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
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
Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
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
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
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
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
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
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Saint Francis de Sales
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.
Saint Francis de Sales
Oh what remorse we shall feel at the end of our lives, when we look back upon the great number of instructions and examples afforded by God and the Saints for our perfection, and so carelessly received by us! If this end were to come to you today, how would you be pleased with the life you have led this year?
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.
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
Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.
Saint Francis de Sales
God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Saint Francis de Sales
