"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
"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

“Do you know what a great gift it is that God gave us the right to speak to Him every hour and moment, wherever we are? He always listens to us. This is the greatest honor we have. For this reason we must love God.” --Elder Porphyrios
“If God is slow in answering your request, or if you ask but do not promptly receive anything, do not be upset, for you are not wiser than God.” --St. Isaac of Syria
"Of course, every good deed done for Christ's sake gives us the grace of the Holy Spirit, but prayer gives us this grace most of all, for it is always at hand, as an instrument for acquiring the grace of the Spirit. For instance, you would like to go to church, but there is no church or the service is over; you would like to give alms to a beggar, but there isn't one, or you have nothing to give; you would like to do some other good deed for Christ's sake, but either you have not the strength or the opportunity is lacking. This certainly does not apply to prayer. Prayer is always possible for everyone, rich and poor, noble and humble, strong and weak, healthy and sick, righteous and sinful." --St. Seraphim of Sarov
"For belief only within one's soul does not suffice; He desires also the belief confessed with the tongue. He did not say, "Whosoever shall confess Me," but "in me", that is, in My strength. For he who confesses does so aided by the grace which is from above." --St. Theophylact
“Just as the blessings of God are unutterably great, so their acquisition requires much hardship and toil undertaken with hope and faith.” --St. Macarius the Great
“The person who truly wishes to be healed is he who does not refuse treatment. This treatment consists of the pain and distress brought on by various misfortunes. He who refuses them does not realize what they accomplish in this world or what he will gain from them when he departs this life.” --St. Maximus the Confessor

"The love of God inspires the love of our neighbor." --St. Maximos the Confessor

"He who wishes to purify his faults purifies them with tears and he who wishes to acquire virtues, acquires them with tears." --St. Poemen

"Blessed the one who loves good and fair words and hates base and destructive speech, because he will not become a prisoner of the Evil One." --St. Ephraim of Syria
