"Whatever a man loves he inevitably clings to, and in order not to lose it he rejects everything that keeps him from it. So he who loves God cultivates pure prayer, driving out every passion that keeps him from it." --St. Maximos the Confessor
"No matter how just your words may be, you ruin everything when you speak with anger." --St. John Chrysostom
"Live without cares, judge no-one, vex no-one, and honor everyone." --St. Ambrose of Optina
"Let us strive to fulfill the commandments so that we may be freed from the passions; and let us struggle to grasp divine doctrine so that we may be found worthy of spiritual knowledge." --St. Thalassios the Libyan
