Quotes

A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

Control your stomach, sleep, anger, and tongue, and you will not 'dash your foot against a stone.'

If you abandon God and are a slave to the passions, you cannot reap God's mercy.

Love and self-control purify the soul.

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.

Self-control and strenuous effort curb desire; stillness and intense longing for God wither it.

Just as desire and rage multiply our sins, so self-control and humility erase them.

If you lay down rules for yourself, do not disobey yourself; for he who cheats himself is self-deluded.

Do not neglect the practice of the virtues; if you do, your spiritual knowledge will decrease, and when famine occurs you will go down into Egypt (Genesis 41:57, 46:6).

Keep the commandments, and you will find peace; love God, and you will attain spiritual knowledge.

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.

Worldly virtues promote human glory, spiritual virtues the glory of God.

Strive to love every man equally, and you will simultaneously expel all the passions.
