Peace Does Not Dwell In Outward Things But Within The Soul; We May Preserve It In The Midst Of The Bitterest Pain, If Our Will Remains Firm And Submissive. Peace In This Life Springs From Acquiescence To, Not An Exemption From, Suffering.

More From Francois Fenelon

The History Of The World Suggests That Without Love Of God There Is Little Likelihood Of A Love For Man That Does Not Become Corrupt.

How Different The Peace Of God From That Of The World! It Calms The Passions, Preserves The Purity Of The Conscience, Is Inseparable From Righteousness, Unites Us To God And Strengthens Us Against Temptations. The Peace Of The Soul Consists In An Absolute Resignation To The Will Of God.

There Were Some Who Said That A Man At The Point Of Death Was More Free Than All Others, Because Death Breaks Every Bond, And Over The Dead The United World Has No Power.

Listen Less To Your Own Thoughts And More To God's Thoughts.

No More Restless Uncertainties, No More Anxious Desires, No More Impatience At The Place We Are In; For It Is God Who Has Placed Us There, And Who Holds Us In His Arms. Can We Be Unsafe Where He Has Placed Us?
