More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.
Saint Francis de Sales
In so far as divine love beautifies our souls. And makes us pleasing to His divine Majesty, it is called grace in so far as it gives us strength to do good, it is called charity but when it reaches such a degree of perfection, that it makes us not only do the good, but do so carefully, frequently and readily, then it is called devotion.
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 see crosses at every turn. My flesh shudders over it, but my heart adores them. Yes, I hail you, crosses little and great, I hail you, and kiss your feet, unworthy of the honor of your shadow.
Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.
Saint Francis de Sales
God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Saint Francis de Sales
I recommend to you holy simplicity.
Saint Francis de Sales
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
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
Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.
Saint Francis de Sales
Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God.
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
Faith fills a man with love for the beauty of its truth, with faith in the truth of its beauty
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
Do not complain then of your poverty, my daughter, - we only complain of that which is unwelcome, and if poverty is unwelcome to you, you are no longer poor in spirit.
Saint Francis de Sales
Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.
Saint Francis de Sales
Friendship requires great communication.
Saint Francis de Sales
To be pleased at correction and reproofs shows that one loves the virtues which are contrary to those faults for which he is corrected and reproved. And, therefore, it is a great sign of advancement in perfection.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
