Additional quotes by Francis of Assisi

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.

St. Francis reportedly said, "Preach Jesus, and if necessary use words."

Go into all the world and preach the gospel, and, if necessary, use words.

Lord, grant me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to deal with the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference. - Francis of Assisi
