"You have not yet acquired perfect love if your regard for people is still swayed by their characters - for example, if, for some particular reason, you love one person and hate another, or if for the same reason you sometimes love and sometimes hate the same person." --St. Maximos the Confessor
"It is certain that God desires that which is most advantageous to us much more than we desire it ourselves. He knows better than we by what means that which is best for us must arrive. The choice of means is entirely in His hands, since it is He who disposes and regulates all things in the world. With perfect trust in God, let us say: 'Thy will be done!'" --St. Augustine of Hippo
"Keep watch over your thoughts and shun evil. Then your intellect will not be darkened but, on the contrary, will see." --St. Thalassios the Libyan
