More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom

Image
Make account that thou hast done nothing, and then thou hast done all. For if, being sinners, when we account ourselves to be what we are, we become righteous, as indeed the Publican did how much more, when being righteous we account ourselves to be sinners.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
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
Why do you beat the air and run in vain? Every occupation has a purpose, obviously. Tell me then, what is the purpose of all the activity of the world? Answer, I challenge you! It is vanity of vanity: all is vanity.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Nothing is more powerful than meekness. For as fire is extinguished by water, so a mind inflated by anger is subdued by meekness. By meekness we practice and make known our virtue, and also cause the indignation of our brother to cease, and deliver his mind from perturbation.
Saint John Chrysostom

When one is required to preside over the Church, and be entrusted with the care of so many souls, the whole female sex must retire before the magnitude of the task, and the majority of men also.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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. Let us train boys from earliest childhood to be patient when they suffer wrongs themselves, but, if they see another being wronged, to sally forth courageously and aid the sufferer in fitting measure.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
If we approach with faith, we too will see Jesus... for the Eucharistic table takes the place of the crib. Here the Body of the Lord is present, wrapped not in swaddling clothes but in the rays of the Holy Spirit.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Labor: a powerful medicine.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
I do not think there are many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Good men do not always have grace and favor, lest they should be puffed up, and grow insolent and proud.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?
Saint John Chrysostom
