... 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.

More quotes by 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
God uproots the vine that He Himself has not planted.
Vincent de Paul
Peace is worth far more than anything they might take from you.
Vincent de Paul
We must endeavor to have God reign sovereignly in us, and then in others. The trouble with me is that I take more care to have Him reign in others than in myself.
Vincent de Paul
Peace is never so complete that we may not have something to suffer. . . . Since it is impossible to please all of [those you serve], they offer you the occasion for practices which increase your merit in the measure that you make them meritorious by your patience.
Vincent de Paul
[M]ost people offend God by passing judgment on the things others do, especially important people, not knowing the reasons why they are doing what they do for when one does not know the primary cause of some matter, what conclusions can he draw from it?
Vincent de Paul
We should spend as much time in thanking God for his benefits as we do in asking him for them.
Vincent de Paul
What you are saying is true of those who want everything to give way to them, nothing to oppose them, everything to go their way, people to obey them without comment or delay and, in a manner of speaking, to be adored.
Vincent de Paul
Perfection consists in a constant perseverance to acquire the virtues and become proficient in their practice, because on God's road, not to advance is to fall back since man never remains in the same condition.
Vincent de Paul
Cast from your heart the bitterness.
Vincent de Paul
And what are we doing if we are not doing God's Will?
Vincent de Paul
Good works are often spoiled by moving too quickly. . . . The good which God desires is accomplished almost by itself, without our even thinking of it.
Vincent de Paul
We must love our neighbor as being made in the image of God and as an object of His love.
Vincent de Paul
Let us reflect that we shall always do God's Will and He will do ours when we carry out that of our Superiors.
Vincent de Paul
Be acted upon rather than active. In this way, God will do through you alone what all men put together could not do without Him.
Vincent de Paul
All of you desire to belong entirely to God, and God also wants all of you to belong to Him
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
...Omit nothing which can advance his work, and not blame others for the delay.
Vincent de Paul
People are made in such a way that even the holiest ones are liable to offend one another.
Vincent de Paul
The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.
Vincent de Paul
