3 Francis de Sales Quotes on Virtue

Francis de Sales quotes on virtue

5. It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.

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

10. Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue.
