There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.
Saint Francis de SalesThere are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
Saint Francis de SalesDon't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.
Saint Francis de SalesThe truly patient man neither complains of his hard lot nor desires to be pitied by others. He speaks of his sufferings in a natural, true, and sincere way, without murmuring, complaining, or exaggerating them.
