Quotes

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

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

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

A man is neither saved nor lost by the place he is in, but is saved or lost by his deeds. Neither a holy place nor a holy state is of use to him who does not fulfill the commandments of the Lord.

When someone is free, he has rights and obligations. When he gets married, he has few rights and very many obligations. When, however, he obtains children also, he has no rights, but only obligations.

Listlessness is an apathy of soul; and a soul becomes apathetic when sick with self-indulgence.

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

The study of divine principles teaches knowledge of God to the person who lives in truth, longing and reverence.

The person who is unaffected by the things of this world loves stillness; and he who loves no human thing loves all men.

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

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

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

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

Make the body serve the commandments, keeping it so far as possible free from sickness and sensual pleasure.

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

Long-suffering and readiness to forgive curb anger; love and compassion wither it.

The soul's health consists in dispassion and spiritual knowledge; no slave to sensual pleasure can attain it.

If you are not willing to repent through freely choosing to suffer, unsought sufferings will providentially be imposed on you.

You were commanded to keep the body as a servant, not to be unnaturally enslaved to its pleasures.
