More quotes by 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
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
Saint Francis de Sales
We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God. If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear. Let us take breath, and go on afresh.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Saint Francis de Sales
I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.
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
If after all your efforts you cannot succeed, you could not please our Lord more than by sacrificing to Him your will, and remaining in tranquility, humility, and devotion, entirely conformed and submissive to His divine will and good pleasure.
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
It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially.
Saint Francis de Sales
There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
Saint Francis de Sales
Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.
Saint Francis de Sales
Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Devil doesn't fear austerity but holy obedience.
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
I have the same opinion of dances that physicians have of mushrooms: the best of them are good for nothing.
Saint Francis de Sales
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
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
