We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence; but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Nothing is more false and more...

Nothing is more false and more indiscreet than always to want to choose what mortifies us in everything. By this rule a person would soon ruin his health, his business, his reputation, his relations with his relatives and friends, in fact every good work which Providence gives him.

The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.

It matters little how one begins, provided that he be resolved to go on well, and to end well.

One rarely does well what one rarely does.

True prayer is only another na...

True prayer is only another name for the love of God. Its excellence does not consist in the multitude of our words; for our Father knoweth what things we have need of before we ask Him. The true prayer is that of the heart, and the heart prays only for what it desires. To pray, then is to desire -- but to desire what God would have us desire. He who asks what he does not from the bottom of his heart desire, is mistaken in thinking that he prays.

Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.

God is our true Friend, who always gives us the counsel and comfort we need. Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us.

I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.

Make this simple rule the guide of your life: to have no will but God's.

A spoon full of honey gets more flies than a barrel full of vinegar.

We have freedom to do good or evil; yet to make choice of evil, is not to use, but to abuse our freedom.

When charity requires it we must freely and mildly communicate to our neighbor not only what is his instruction, but also what is profitable for his consolation.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

To lose ourselves in God is si...

To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can truly say Lord I have no other will than Thine it is truly lost in God and united to Him.

For every great temptation there will be many small ones. Wolves and bears are more dangerous than flies, but we are bothered most by flies.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.

The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.

Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
