More quotes by Vincent de Paul
... bear with him as Our Lord bore with His disciples, who gave Him good reason to complain - at least, some of them did. Yet, He allowed them to remain in His company and tried to bring them around gently.
Vincent de Paul
Providence must call us and we must follow it, if we are to go forward confidently.
Vincent de Paul
The angels would become incarnate if they could, so that they might come to earth to imitate the example and virtues of the Son of God!
Vincent de Paul
. . . Practice teaching catechism and preaching. Missionaries must apply themselves to these tasks and although they do not accomplish them as successfully as others do, according to the opinion of men, it must be enough for them that they are doing the Will of God and perhaps producing more real fruit.
Vincent de Paul
One beautiful diamond is worth more than a mountain of stones, and one virtuous act of acquiescence and submission is better than an abundance of good works done for others.
Vincent de Paul
He is greatly honored by the time we take to weigh with mature deliberation matters having to do with his service, as are all those with which we deal.
Vincent de Paul
If we want to find the manna hidden in our vocation, let us restrict and confine all our desires within it.
Vincent de Paul
Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying.
Vincent de Paul
Charity is the cement which binds Communities to God and persons to one another . . .
Vincent de Paul
If you say that a good reputation serves to benefit the neighbor more, I admit that. However, since it should be based on a good life, it is, therefore, preserved by the practice of virtue and not by human intrigue.
Vincent de Paul
Foresight is good when it is subject to the latter, but it becomes excessive when we are in a hurry to avoid something we fear. We rely more on our own efforts than on those of his Providence, and we think we are doing a great deal by anticipating His orders by our own disorder, which causes us to rely on human prudence rather than on his Word.
Vincent de Paul
[L]et us believe that all is going along the best in the world when we take no satisfaction in it, provided we humble ourselves for this and redouble our confidence in God.
Vincent de Paul
Nevertheless, when one is ill, one should be submissive to the doctor and obey him.
Vincent de Paul
In the name of Our Lord, Monsieur, do all you can to regain your health and take good care of it so that you can serve God and the poor for a longer time. This moderate care does not preclude the obligation we have of generously risking our lives when the salvation of our neighbor is concerned.
Vincent de Paul
All beginnings are somewhat strange but we must have patience, and little by little, we shall find things, which at first were obscure, becoming clearer.
Vincent de Paul
[L]ove is inventive to infinity.
Vincent de Paul
A man who behaves poorly in a Community will not do well in a parish.
Vincent de Paul
[P]resent misfortune presupposes good luck in the future.
Vincent de Paul
There is no act of charity that is not accompanied by justice or that permits us to do more than we reasonably can.
Vincent de Paul
Let us allow God to act He brings things to completion when we least expect it.
Vincent de Paul
