Text Quotes
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
Consider all the past as nothing, and say, like David: Now I begin to love my God (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
A dance is the devil's procession, and he that entereth into a dance, entereth into his possession (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Let us be what God likes, so long as we are His, and let us not be what we want to be, if it is against his intention (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
Marital intercourse is certainly holy, lawful and praiseworthy in itself and profitable to society, yet in certain circumstances it can prove dangerous, as when through excess the soul is made sick with venial sin, or through the violation and perversion of its primary end, killed by mortal sin; such perversion, detestable in proportion to its departure from the true order, being always mortal sin, for it is never lawful to exclude the primary end of marriage which is the procreation of children (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
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 (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
The truly patient man neither complains of his hard lot nor desires to be pitied by others. He speaks of his sufferings in a natural, true, and sincere way, without murmuring, complaining, or exaggerating them (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
Never be hurried in anything. Do all things calmly and in a spirit of repose. Do not lose your inward peace even if everything seems to be going wrong. What is anything in life compared to peace of soul? (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
Represent to yourself a dark city all burning and stinking with fire and brimstone. The damned are in the depth of hell within this woful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments in all their senses and members. Consider above all the eternity of their pains, which above all things makes hell intolerable (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
Let is walk... joyously, dear souls, among the difficulties of this passing life... These pains will have an end when our life ends, after which there will be only joy, only contentment, only eternal consolation (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
I have the same opinion of dances that physicians have of mushrooms: the best of them are good for nothing (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other; it is a perpetual exercise in mortification (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
What we need is a cup of understanding, a barrel of love, and an ocean of patience (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Is it not a great temptation to be so valiant in imagination and so cowardly in execution? (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
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 Quotes)
One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion (Saint Francis De Sales Quotes)
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 Quotes)
