Obedience is a virtue of so excellent a nature, that Our Lord was pleased to mark its observance upon the whole course of His life thus He often says, He did not come to do His Own will, but that of His Heavenly Father.

More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
He who complains, sins.
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
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Saint Francis de Sales
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
Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
A good discourse is that from which nothing can be retrenched without cutting into the quick.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and do that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.
Saint Francis de Sales
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
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
You can attract more bees with a spoonful of sugar than a cupful of vinegar.
Saint Francis de Sales
You learn to love by loving.
Saint Francis de Sales
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be who you are and be that well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Doing little things with a strong desire to please God makes them really great.
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
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
Saint Francis de Sales
By giving yourself to God, You not only receive Himself in exchange, but eternal life as well.
Saint Francis de Sales
If we say a little it is easy to add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success.
Saint Francis de Sales
Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
Saint Francis de Sales
