The greatest weapons of someone striving to lead a life of inward stillness are self-control, love, prayer, and spiritual reading.

Struggle until death to fulfill the commandments: purified through them, you will enter into life.

The person who listens to Christ fills himself with light; and if he imitates Christ, he reclaims himself.

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

Self-love -- that is, friendship for the body -- is the source of evil in the soul.

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