Saint Francis de Sales Be Quotations

Be who you are and be that well.

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.

Many would be willing to have afflictions provided that they not be inconvenienced by them.

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.

Be who you are and do that well.
