Saint Francis de Sales Charity Quotations

True virtue has no limits, but goes on and on, and especially holy charity, which is the virtue of virtues, and which having a definite object, would become infinite if it could meet with a heart capable of infinity.

To love our neighbor in charity is to love God in man.

When charity requires it we must freely and mildly communicate to our neighbor not only what is his instruction, but also what is profitable for his consolation.

Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.

Charity and devotion differ no more, the one from the other, than the flame from the fire.

A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.
