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.
From Saint Francis de Sales
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
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.
Through devotion, your family cares become more peaceful, mutual love between husband and wife becomes more sincere, the service we owe to the prince more faithful, and our work, no matter what it is, becomes more pleasant and agreeable.
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.
Those who love to be feared fear to be loved.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
