Gabriel Faure Quotes

The Great Charm Of St Francis, That Which Explains The Wonderful Attraction He Has Even For Spirits Apparently Removed From Him, Is That No One Was Less A Churchman. He Was Neither A Priest Nor Theologian. He Did Not Even Know His Bible Well. He Ignored The First Rules Of Scholasticism... He Hardly Knew The Saints, Of Whom He Was To Become The Greatest. He Spoke To The Crowds, Not Like The Ecclesiatical Preachers, From High Pulpits, But Simply, From Among The Peasants And The Womenfolk, Without Dogmatic Paraphernalia, Without Theological Quotations Or Pompous Phrases. He Was An Orator Without Oratorical Method. His Way Of Renouncing Earthly Goods Was Not The Way Of The Ascetics. He Forbade Himself Riches, He Did Not Forbid Himself Joy...
