More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
Saint Francis de Sales
Faith fills a man with love for the beauty of its truth, with faith in the truth of its beauty
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
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
Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Saint Francis de Sales
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales
Many who confess their venial sins out of custom and concern for order but without thought of amendment remain burdened with them for their whole life and thus lose many spiritual benefits and advantages.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let the enemy rage at the gate let him knock, pound, scream, howl let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
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
Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit for without being seen, they are present with you.
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
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not fret under such assistance as is needful therein lies one great grace of poverty. It were overambitious to aim at being poor without suffering any inconvenience, in other words, to have the credit of poverty and the convenience of riches.
Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
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
Let God be the air in which your heart breathes at ease.
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
