Today's quote was submitted by Tim
St. Francis of Assisi said “Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary” I love it... while, this is always attributed to St. Francis of Assisi—founder of the Franciscan Order, there is no evidence that he ever said this... but he came kinda close in his Rule of 1221, Chapter XII on how the Franciscans should practice their preaching: “No brother should preach contrary to the form and regulations of the holy Church nor unless he has been permitted by his minister … All the Friars … should preach by their deeds.” Essentially saying, make sure your deeds match your words. While that's a great thought, the quote is not quite as cool... so that's probably why it's been tweaked over the years. Either way, I think the sentiment is great. Don't say one thing while doing something different. Your actions and your words should match!
