"Brethren and fathers, God, who fashioned us and brought us out of non-existence into being, has placed us in this life as in a schoolroom to learn to gospel of his kingdom." --St. Theodore the Studite
"You cannot turn me from my holy Faith by threats, nor with promises of riches and pleasures. I will obey your orders willingly, if you will leave me free to follow my religion. I would rather surrender my head to you than to change my faith. I was born a Christian, and I shall die a Christian." --St. John the Russian
"Let us enter into our room, and sitting there, remember our sins, and the Lord will come and help us in everything." --St. Poemen
