"Establish yourself in God and then you will be helpful to others." --St. Seraphim of Sarov
"If man remembered that it is written: 'By your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned,' (Matthew 12:37) he would choose to remain silent." --St. Poemen
"When a bad or gloomy thought, fear or temptation threatens to afflict you, don’t fight it to try and get rid of it. Open your arms to Christ’s love and he will embrace you, then it will vanish by itself." --St. Porphyrios
"Do not be always wanting everything to turn out as you think it should, but rather as God pleases, then you will be undisturbed and thankful in prayer." --St. Nilus
"Every Christian should find for himself the imperative and inventive to become holy. If you live without struggle and without hope of becoming holy, then you are Christians only in name and not in essence." --St. Philaret of Moscow
