More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.
Saint Francis de Sales
Fear is a greater evil than evil itself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.
Saint Francis de Sales
Go in all simplicity do not be anxious to win a quiet mind, and it will be all the quieter. Do not examine so closely into the progress of your soul. Do not crave too much to be perfect, but let your spiritual life beformed by your duties, and by the actions which are called forth by circumstances.
Saint Francis de Sales
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
Saint Francis de Sales
In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.
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
I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.
Saint Francis de Sales
The declared enemies of God and His Church, heretics and schismatics, must be criticized as much as possible, as long as truth is not denied. It is a work of charity to shout: 'Here is the wolf!' when it enters the flock or anywhere else.
Saint Francis de Sales
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales
True virtue has no limits, but goes on and on, and especially holy charity, which is the virtue of virtues, and which having a definite object, would become infinite if it could meet with a heart capable of infinity.
Saint Francis de Sales
The highest point of humility consists in not merely acknowledging one's abjection, but in taking pleasure therein, not from any want of breadth or courage, but to give the more glory to God's Divine Majesty, and to esteem one's neighbour more highly than one's self.
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
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall. I am glad that you make a daily new beginning there is no better means of progress in the spiritual life than to be continually beginning afresh, and never to think that we have done enough.
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
You learn to love by loving.
Saint Francis de Sales
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Saint Francis de Sales
During the night we must wait for the light.
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
