If we want to find the manna hidden in our vocation, let us restrict and confine all our desires within it.
Vincent de PaulAn honorable man would never abandon his friend in time of need, especially if they were in a foreign country. Why? For fear of acting like a coward or of being boorish. I repeat, I admire the fact that, those persons have, through human respect, more courage than Christians and priests have, through charity or through their good intentions.
Vincent de PaulBe acted upon rather than active. In this way, God will do through you alone what all men put together could not do without Him.
Vincent de Paul
