"Through devotion, your family cares become more peaceful, mutual love between husband and wife becom..." — Saint Francis de Sales

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.

Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others, and talk to God.
