Quotes

"There are three things that impel us towards what is holy: natural instincts, angelic powers and probity of intention. Natural instincts impel us when, for example, we do to others what we would wish them to do to us (cf. Luke 6:31), or when we see someone suffering deprivation or in need and naturally feel compassion. Angelic powers impel us when, being ourselves impelled to something worthwhile, we find we are providentially helped and guided. We are impelled by probity of intention when, discriminating between good and evil, we choose the good."

- St. Maximus the Confessor, Second Century on Love

Tongue

Nothing causes a man to sin so often as his tongue.

St. Tikhon of Zadonsk

Tongue

Control the tongue, so that it will not utter empty words. Whoever preserves his tongue, preserves his soul from grief.

St. Paisius Velichkovsky

Tongue

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.
