Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.

Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom
This is what an excellent teacher does he does not follow his disciples' fancy everywhere, but leads them to his own mind, and pulls up the thorns, and then puts the seed in, and does not answer at once in all cases to the questions put to him.
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
A friend is more to be longed for than the light I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends better to live in darkness, than to be without friends
