"No brother should preach contrary to the form and regulation of the holy Church nor unless he has been permitted by his minister. The minister should take care not to grant this permission to anyone indiscriminately. All the Friars, however, should preach by their deeds."

— Francis of Assisi Disputed

More quotes by Francis of Assisi

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

We must not be wise and prudent according to the flesh, but, instead, we must be simple, humble and pure.

Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial.

Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance.

Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures.
