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 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.

Most high, all powerful, all good Lord! All praise is yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing. To you, alone, Most High, do they belong.
