Image
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
Image
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
Image
The Devil doesn't fear austerity but holy obedience.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
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
Image
I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Let God be the air in which your heart breathes at ease.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
What son would not bring his mother back to life and would not bring her into paradise after her death if he could?
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Be who you are and be that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
I have the same opinion of dances that physicians have of mushrooms: the best of them are good for nothing.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can truly say Lord I have no other will than Thine it is truly lost in God and united to Him.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Souls do not wish to be bullied, but gently brought back such is the nature of man.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
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.
