"When pride retreats from a man, humility begins to dwell in him, and the more pride is diminished, so much more does humility grow. The one gives way to the other as its opposite. Darkness departs and light appears. Pride is darkness, but humility is light." --St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
"Cry out, O sinner, with all your might; for your Lord is merciful and loves those who repent. As soon as you return, your Father will come out to meet you. He will slaughter the fatted calf , clothe you in a fine robe, and rejoice in you." --St. Ephraim the Syrian
"The soul that loves God has its rest in God and in God alone. In all the paths that men walk in the world, they do not attain peace until they draw nigh to hope in God." --St. Isaac the Syrian
"Be ever more obedient to God and He will save you." --St. Pachomius
"So in every test, let us say, 'Thank you, my God, because this was needed for my salvation." --St. Paisios
