More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
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
God requires a faithful fulfillment of the merest trifle given us to do, rather than the most ardent aspiration to things to which we are not called.
Saint Francis de Sales
A dance is the devil's procession, and he that entereth into a dance, entereth into his possession.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
Saint Francis de Sales
You can attract more bees with a spoonful of sugar than a cupful of vinegar.
Saint Francis de Sales
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.
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
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
Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Devil doesn't fear austerity but holy obedience.
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
Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
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 Prayer of the sick person is his patience and his acceptance of his sickness for the love of Jesus Christ. Make sickness itself a prayer, for there is none more powerful, save martyrdom!
Saint Francis de Sales
He who complains, sins.
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
