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.

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.

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?

Pity enlarges the heart....

Pity enlarges the heart.

He who prays without confidence cannot hope that his prayers will be granted.

Prayer is so necessary, and the source of so many blessings, that he who has discovered the treasure cannot be prevented from having recourse to it, whenever he has an opportunity.

O Lord, I do most cheerfully commit all unto Thee.

It is this unquiet self-love that renders us so sensitive. The sick man, who sleeps ill, thinks the night long. We exaggerate, from cowardice, all the evils which we encounter; they are great, but our sensibility increases them. The true way to bear them is to yield ourselves up with confidence to God.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Let us pray God that He would ...

Let us pray God that He would root out of our hearts every thing of our own planting, and set out there, with His own hands, the tree of life, bearing all manner of fruits.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Sordid and infamous sensuality...

Sordid and infamous sensuality, the most dreadful evil that issued from the box of Pandora, corrupts every heart, and eradicates every virtue. Fly! wherefore dost thou linger? Fly, cast not one look behind thee; nor let even thy thought return to the accursed evil for a moment.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Peace does not dwell in outwar...

Peace does not dwell in outward things but within the soul; we may preserve it in the midst of the bitterest pain, if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life springs from acquiescence to, not an exemption from, suffering.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

A heart-memory is better than ...

A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The damned are in the abyss of...

The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.

To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid 'bigЂќ sins-is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

If you have to do with one who...

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Strive to see God in all thing...

Strive to see God in all things without exception. Do not smother yourself...If you start smothering yourself with a host of cares and longings and wishes ... you will be disabling yourself from serving God with all your heart.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Should we feel at times dishea...

Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a simple movement of heart toward God will renew our powers. Whatever he may demand of us, he will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.

The more you say, the less people remember.

He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.

The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'
