Better make penitents by gentleness than hypocrites by severity.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

If you would fall into any ext...

If you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists rigor, and yields to softness.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

There is nothing as strong as ...

There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Resign every forbidden joy; re...

Resign every forbidden joy; restrain every wish that is not referred to God's will; banish all eager desires, all anxiety; desire only the will of God; seek him alone and supremely, and you will find peace.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The elephant, not only the lar...

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.

Do we accustom ourselves to se...

Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgments by it? Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.

While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall, who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice.

God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.

Be not miserable about what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father, who cares for you today, will care for you tomorrow.

Faith is letting down our nets...

Faith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

If we had strength and faith e...

If we had strength and faith enough to trust ourselves entirely to God; and follow Him simply wherever He should lead us, we should have no need of any great effort of mind to reach perfection.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Many great persons have been o...

Many great persons have been of opinion that love is no other thing than complacency itself, in which they have had much appearance of reason. For not only does the movement of love take its origin from the complacency which the heart feels at the first approach of good, and find its end in a second complacency which returns to the heart by union with the thing beloved--but further, it depends for its preservation on this complacency, and can only subsist through it as through its mother and nurse; so that as soon as t

Big fires flare up in a wind, but little ones are blown out unless they are carried in under cover.

Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.

Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.

No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades; it only makes hypocrites.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Despondency is not a state of ...

Despondency is not a state of humility; on the contrary, it is the vexation and despair of a cowardly pride--nothing is worse; whether we stumble or whether we fall, we must only think of rising again and going on in our course.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The Christian life is a long a...

The Christian life is a long and continual tendency of our hearts toward that eternal goodness which we desire on earth. All our happiness consists in thirsting for it. Now this thirst is prayer. Ever desire to approach your Creator, and you will never cease to pray. Do not think it necessary to pronounce many words.
