More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom
The road to Hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks, and the skulls of bishops are the lamp posts that light the path.

Saint John Chrysostom
Whatever you may do for your brother, being hungry, and a stranger, and naked, not even the devil will be able to despoil, but it will be laid up in an inviolabe treasure.
Saint John Chrysostom
When we teach our children to be good, to be gentle, to be forgiving (all these are attributes of God), to be generous, to love their follow men, to regard this present age as nothing, we instill virtue in their souls, and reveal the image of God within them.
Saint John Chrysostom
He that enjoys naught without thanksgiving is as though he robbed God.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
I exhort and entreat you all, disregard what this man and that man thinks about these things, and inquire from the Scriptures all these things.
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
Fasting is a medicine.
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
In the Christian combat, not the striker, as in the Olympic contests, but he who is struck, wins the crown. This is the law in the celestial theatre, where the Angels are the spectators.
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
Dost thou wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to thy neighbor.
