More quotes by 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
Do not be ashamed of being poor, or of asking alms. Receive what is given you with humility, and accept a refusal meekly. Frequently call to mind Our Lady's journey into Egypt with her Holy Child, and of all the poverty, contempt and suffering they endured. If you follow their example you will indeed be rich amid your poverty.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
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
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
Be not miserable about what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father, who cares for you today, will care for you tomorrow.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
Saint Francis de Sales
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
Saint Francis de Sales
Obedience is a virtue of so excellent a nature, that Our Lord was pleased to mark its observance upon the whole course of His life thus He often says, He did not come to do His Own will, but that of His Heavenly Father.
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
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
Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.
Saint Francis de Sales
I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially.
Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
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
Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God.
Saint Francis de Sales
I have the same opinion of dances that physicians have of mushrooms: the best of them are good for nothing.
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
