Woman is a necessary evil, a natural temptation, a desirable calamity, a domestic peril, a deadly fascination, and a painted ill.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
When you are weary of praying, and do not receive, consider how often you have heard a poor man calling, and have not listened to him.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
How many of you say: I should like to see His face, His garments, His shoes. You do see Him, you touch Him, you eat Him. He gives Himself to you, not only that you may see Him, but also to be your food and nourishment.

Let us pass to the despotic part of the soul, spirit. We must not eliminate it utterly from the youth nor yet allow him to use it all the time.

As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.

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
Image
An insult is either sustained or destroyed, not by the disposition of those who insult, but by the disposition of those who bear it.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
You carry your snare everywhere and spread your nets in all places. You allege that you never invited others to sin. You did not indeed, by your words, but you have done so by your dress and your deportment.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
He that enjoys naught without thanksgiving is as though he robbed God.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Fasting is a medicine.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Slander is worse than cannibalism.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
If you would rise, shun luxury, for luxury lowers and degrades.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
