There have been saints, to be sure, who were wonderfully wise for all of their ignorance. There have been others, equally as certain, who have been wonderfully ignorant for all of their knowledge.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Look often on Christ, crucified, naked, blasphemed, slandered, forsaken, and overwhelmed by every kind of weariness, sorrow and labor.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Live a generous, noble, courteous, royal, just and reasonable heart.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Nothing is so common than to find people who know what is right but who lack the courage to do it.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
The indifferent heart is like a ball of wax in God’s hands, ready to receive all the impressions of his eternal good pleasure. It is a heart without preference, equally ready for all things and having no other object for its will except the will of God.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
