"Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discuss..." — Saint Francis de Sales

Through devotion, your family cares become more peaceful, mutual love between husband and wife becomes more sincere, the service we owe to the prince more faithful, and our work, no matter what it is, becomes more pleasant and agreeable.

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

Those who love to be feared fear to be loved.

The thoughts of those moved by natural human love are almost completely fastened on the beloved, their hearts are filled with passion for it, and their mouths full of its praises.
