Nothing is so strong as gentleness and nothing is so gentle as real strength.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Be what you are…
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)

Don’t sow weeds in the soil of your heart. Your garden space is limited.

We must love God…
We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
God is good…
God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one. Since God is good, and especially to those who are faithful to him, let us hold fast to him with all our soul, our heart, our strength, and so enjoy his light and see his glory and possess the grace of supernatural joy.
— Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
Kneeling is helpful…
At the time of darkness, more than anything else kneeling is helpful.
— Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
