More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
If we were not passionately inclined to money or to vainglory, then we would not fear death or poverty. We would not know enmity or hatred, and we would not suffer from the sorrows of ourselves or others.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is a shame for a man to desire honor because of his noble progenitors, and not to deserve it by his own virtue.
Saint John Chrysostom
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Saint John Chrysostom
Let the mouth also fast from disgraceful speeches and railings. For what does it profit if we abstain from fish and fowl and yet bite and devour our brothers and sisters? The evil speaker eats the flesh of his brother and bites the body of his neighbor.
Saint John Chrysostom
I hear no one boast, that he hath a knowledge of the Scriptures, but that he owneth a Bible written in golden characters. And tell me then, what profiteth this? The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books, but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is certainly a greater and more wonderful work to change the minds of enemies, bringing about a change of soul, than to kill them.
Saint John Chrysostom
Words would be superfluous if we had deeds to show for Them.
Saint John Chrysostom
For nothing so much disturbs the mind, though it be done for some beneficial purpose, as to innovate and introduce strange things, and most of all when this is done in matters relating to divine worship and the glory of God.
Saint John Chrysostom
You can set up an altar to God in your minds by means of prayer. And so it is fitting to pray at your trade, on a journey, standing at a counter or sitting at your handicraft.
Saint John Chrysostom
Do you think that the man-loving God has given you much so that you could use it only for your own benefit? No, but so that your abundance might supply the lack of others.
Saint John Chrysostom
If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice.
Saint John Chrysostom
If repentance is neglected for an instant, one can lose the power of the Resurrection as he lives with the weakness of tepidity and the potential of his fall.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
Saint John Chrysostom
Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.
Saint John Chrysostom
Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent.
Saint John Chrysostom
Woman is a necessary evil, a natural temptation, a desirable calamity, a domestic peril, a deadly fascination, and a painted ill.
Saint John Chrysostom
Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.
Saint John Chrysostom
God helps those who work, not those who are idle. No one helps an inactive person, but one who joins in the labor. The good God himself will bring...work to perfection.
Saint John Chrysostom
Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.
Saint John Chrysostom
And all men are ready to pass judgement on the priest as if he was not a being clothed with flesh, or one who inherited a human nature.
Saint John Chrysostom
