QUOTES BY ST.

VINCENT DE PAUL
“Make it a practice to judge
persons and things in the most favorable light
at all times and under all circumstances.”

“Charity is certainly greater than any rule. Moreover, all rules must lead to
charity.”

If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will
touch hearts.

I will always welcome joyfully any opportunity that comes my way to be of

service to you

Let us do our duty well; let us go straight to God; let us work to become very
humble, very patient, very mortified, and very charitable.

With God's help, you will continue to succeed in your leadership and in your
duties, because Our Lord's work is accomplished not so much by the multitude of
workers as by the fidelity of the small number whom He calls.

A doctor who keeps a person from becoming ill deserves more merit than one who
cures him.

There is nothing good that does not meet with opposition, and it should not be
valued any less because it encounters objections.
If we are faithful to God, we will lack nothing.
I recommend my soul to you that God may be pleased to make it a sharer in the
good you are doing.
I pray that God Himself will be the strength of the weak and the virtue of the
strong and the prayer of those who are unable to pray.
Always be quite simple and sincere and ask God to grant me those two virtues.
One beautiful diamond is worth more than a mountain of stones, and one virtuous
act of acquiescence and submission is better than an abundance of good works
done for others.
A sure way for a Christian to grow rapidly in holiness is a conscientious effort to
carry out God’s Will in all circumstances and at all times.
I must be afire with love for those with whom I live and with edifying others by the
exercise of love.
