Daily Virtue Quote – St. Francis de Sales

"Slander is a kind of murder; for we all have three lives – a spiritual life, which depends upon the Grace of God; a bodily life, depending on the soul; and a civil life, consisting in a good reputation.  Sin deprives us of the first, death of the second, and slander of the third." [...]
