"When you have to speak, before expressing what has entered your heart and letting it pass to your tongue, examine it carefully; and you will find many things that are better not let past your lips. Know moreover that many things, which it seems to you good to express, are much better left buried in the tomb of silence." --St. Theophan the Recluse
"One who strictly prosecutes the misdemeanors of others will find not condescension towards his own." --St. John Chrysostom
"I cannot sufficiently be astonished that such is the insanity of some men, such the impiety of their blinded understanding, such, finally, their lust after error, that they will not be content with the rule of faith delivered once and for all from antiquity (Jude 3), but must daily seek after something new, and even newer still, and are always longing to add something to religion, or to change it, or to subtract from it!" --St. Vincent of Lerins
"Being born, then, of the light of truth, shun division and bad doctrines. Where the shepherd is, there you, being sheep, must follow. For many wolves there are, apparently worthy of confidence, who with the bait of baneful pleasure seek to capture the runners in God's race; but if you stand united they will have no success..." --St. Ignatius of Antioch
"If you help a poor person in the name of the Lord, you are making a gift and at the same time granting a loan. You are making a gift because you have no expectation of being reimbursed by that poor person. You are granting a loan because the Lord will settle the account. It is not much that the Lord receives by means of the poor, but He will pay a great deal on their behalf. 'They who are kind to the poor lend to the Lord.'" --St. Basil the Great
"Seek the simplest in all things, in food, clothing, without being ashamed of poverty. For a great part of the world lives in poverty. Do not say, 'I am the son of a rich man. It is shameful for me to be in poverty.' Christ, your Heavenly Father, Who gave birth to you in the baptistery, is not in worldly riches. Rather he walked in poverty and had nowhere to lay His head." --St. Gennadius of Constantinople

"Hence sadness is to be judged beneficial for us in one instance alone--when we conceive it out of repentance for our sins and are inflamed by a desire for perfection, and by the contemplation of future blessedness. Of this the blessed Apostle Paul himself says: 'The sadness that is in accordance with God works repentance unto a lasting salvation, but the world's sadness works death' (2 Corinthians 7:10)." --St. John Cassian
"Prayer frees the mind of all thought of the sensory and raises it to God Himself, Who is above all, to converse with Him and daringly ask Him for anything. Thus a man spends his life in purity, as one who, having already experienced communion with God, is thereupon again preparing for this communion." --St. Nilus of Sinai
"If you want with a few words to benefit one who is eager to learn, speak to him about prayer, right faith, and the patient acceptance of what comes. For all else that is good is found through these." --St. Mark the Ascetic
"On one occasion, the saint said, ‘It may be that a man seems to be silent; but if in his heart he judges others, then he is always speaking. But there are also those who all the day long speak with their tongues, but within themselves they keep true silence, for they judge no one.’" --St. Poemen
"True hope seeks the one Kingdom of God and is sure that everything necessary for this mortal life will surely be given. The heart cannot have peace until it acquires this hope. This hope pacifies it fully and brings joy to it. The most holy lips of the Savior spoke about this very hope: 'Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28)." --St. Seraphim of Sarov
“Have confidence in the compassion of our Creator. Reflect well on what you are now doing, and keep before you the things you have done. Lift up your eyes to the overflowing compassion of heaven, and while He waits for you, draw near in tears to our merciful Judge. Having before your mind that He is a Just Judge, do not take your sins lightly; and having also in mind that He is compassionate, do not despair. The God-Man gives man confidence before God.” --St. Gregory the Great, Pope of Rome

"When God wants to have mercy on someone, He inspires someone else to pray for him, and He helps in this prayer." --St. Silouan of Mt. Athos
"The beginning of evil is heedlessness." --St. Poemen

"What use is it if we distribute all of our goods to the poor, but fail to make a break with evil and to hate sin? What use is it if, while we do not actively commit bodily sin, we mentally engage in shameful and unclean thoughts and invisibly commit sin and are governed and controlled by unrestrained passions of the soul?" --St. Simeon the New Theologian
"It is not an abundance of words that supplicate God, but a pure soul which manifests good deeds." --St. John Chrysostom
