Saint Francis de Sales Doctor of the Church
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others, and talk to God.
To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.
Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.
By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.
There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
