"Worldly virtues promote human glory, spiritual virtues the glory of God." --St. Thalassios the Libyan
"It is better not to allow anger, however just and reasonable, to enter at all, than to admit it in ever so slight a degree; once admitted, it will not be easily expelled, for, though at first but a small plant, it will immediately grow into a large tree." --St. Augustine of Hippo
"Our heart is like the darkened earth; the Gospel is like the sun, enlightening and giving life to our hearts. May the true sun of Thy righteousness shine in our hearts, O Lord!" --St. John of Kronstadt
"It is said that gold rules everything; but spiritual things are ruled by the grace of God." --St. Mark the Ascetic
