God bears with imperfect beings even when they resist His goodness. We ought to imitate this merciful patience and endurance. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.
Francois FenelonThat love of self, which the world advocates, is a thousand times more dangerous than any poison.
Francois FenelonFaith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw.
Francois FenelonThere is nothing that is more dangerous to your own salvation, more unworthy of God and more harmful to your own happiness, than that you should be content to remain as you are.
