There are two principal points...

There are two principal points of attention necessary for the preservation of this constant spirit of prayer which unites us with God; we must continually seek to cherish it, and we must avoid everything that tends to make us lose it.

Be content with doing calmly t...

Be content with doing calmly the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

I believe that we are conformi...

I believe that we are conforming to the divine order and the will of Providence when we are doing even indifferent things that belong to our condition.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The great point is to renounce...

The great point is to renounce your own wisdom by simplicity of walk, and to be ready to give up the favor, esteem, and approbation of every one, whenever the path in which God leads you passes that way.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

This poor world, the object of...

This poor world, the object of so much insane attachment, we are about to leave; it is but misery, vanity, and folly; a phantom--the very fashion of which 'passeth away.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The greatest defect of common ...

The greatest defect of common education is, that we are in the habit of putting pleasure all on one side, and weariness on the other; all weariness in study, all pleasure in idleness.

The passion of acquiring riche...

The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense corrupts the purest souls.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

If we were faultless, we shoul...

If we were faultless, we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate. If we were to acknowledge honestly that we have not virtue enough to bear patiently with our neighbor's weaknesses, we should show our own imperfection, and this alarms our vanity.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The most essential point is lo...

The most essential point is lowliness.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

There are some people who thin...

There are some people who think that they should be always mourning, that they should put a continual constraint upon themselves, and feel a disgust for those amusements to which they are obliged to submit. For my own part, I confess that I know not how to conform myself to these rigid notions. I prefer something more simple, which I also think would be more pleasing to God.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

We must avoid fastidiousness; ...

We must avoid fastidiousness; neatness, when it is moderate, is a virtue; but when it is carried to an extreme, it narrows the mind.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Our piety must be weak and imp...

Our piety must be weak and imperfect if it do not conquer our fear of death.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

True piety hath in it nothing ...

True piety hath in it nothing weak, nothing sad, nothing constrained. It enlarges the heart; it is simple, free, and attractive.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

We may as well tolerate all religions, since God Himself tolerates all.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

When kings interfere in matter...

When kings interfere in matters of religion, they enslave instead of protecting it.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Before putting yourself in per...

Before putting yourself in peril, it is necessary to foresee and fear it; but when one is there, nothing remains but to despise it.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

I am not in the least surprise...

I am not in the least surprised that your impression of death becomes more lively, in proportion as age and infirmity bring it nearer. God makes use of this rough trial to undeceive us in respect to our courage, to make us feel our weakness, and to keep us in all humility in His hands.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

There were some who said that ...

There were some who said that a man at the point of death was more free than all others, because death breaks every bond, and over the dead the united world has no power.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Real friends are our greatest ...

Real friends are our greatest joy and our greatest sorrow. It were almost to be wished that all true and faithful friends should expire on the same day.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Can we be unsafe where God has...

Can we be unsafe where God has placed us, and where He watches over us as a parent a child that he loves?
