Francis de Sales - France - 17th Century

A lawyer, priest, bishop and saint. Francis is called The Gentleman Saint because of his kindness. He was a brilliant teacher who used simple language and mottoes like "A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than gallons of vinegar." Praise warms us. The charm of Jesus is that He saw praiseworthy things in people who were rejects, and without any standing in church or state. Jesus was great because He made people feel great. Francis said To speak well we have to love well, and if we speak too much, we pick up too little.
