More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.
Saint Francis de Sales
If we say a little it is easy to add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success.
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
Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.
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
One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
Saint Francis de Sales
One great remedy against all manner of temptation, great or small, is to open the heart and lay bare its suggestion, likings, and dislikings before some spiritual adviser for, . . . the first condition which the Evil One makes with a soul, when he wants to entrap it, is silence.
Saint Francis de Sales
He prays well who is so absorbed with God that he does not know he is praying.
Saint Francis de Sales
Obedience is a consecration of the heart, chastity of the body, and poverty of all worldly goods to the Love and Service of God. Blessed indeed are the obedient, for God will never permit them to go astray.
Saint Francis de Sales
Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
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
We are sometimes so busy being good angels that we neglect to be good men and women.
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
Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul, except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.
Saint Francis de Sales
Souls do not wish to be bullied, but gently brought back such is the nature of man.
Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
Since God often sends us inspirations by means of His angels, we should frequently return our aspirations to him by means of the same messengers.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let God be the air in which your heart breathes at ease.
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
