Saint Francis de Sales quotes
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
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.
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
