Those who love to be feared fear to be loved, and they themselves are more afraid than anyone, for whereas other men fear only them, they fear everyone.
Saint Francis de SalesIt is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Saint Francis de SalesA dance is the devil's procession, and he that entereth into a dance, entereth into his possession.
Saint Francis de SalesIt matters little how one begins, provided that he be resolved to go on well, and to end well.
