St. Francis Quotations

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love -- every man works his oar voluntarily!

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself.

What we are looking for is what is looking.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship, as experience shows that the callosity formed around a broken bone makes it stronger than before.

Do not wish to be anything except what you are.
