More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?
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
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
Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.
Saint John Chrysostom
There is nothing colder than a Christian who does not seek to save others.
Saint John Chrysostom

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
Things themselves do not remain, but their effects do. Therefore we should not be mean and calculating with what we have but give with a generous hand. Look at how much people give to players and dancers-why not give just as much to Christ?
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
The test of sincerity of one's prayer is the willingness to labor on its behalf.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
Saint John Chrysostom
He that enjoys naught without thanksgiving is as though he robbed God.
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
Let us not overlook so great a gain.
Saint John Chrysostom
The drunken man is a living corpse.
Saint John Chrysostom
If then we have Angels, let us be sober, as though we were in the presence of tutors for there is a demon present also.
Saint John Chrysostom
Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.
Saint John Chrysostom
Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.
Saint John Chrysostom
Charity is indeed, a great thing, and a gift of God, and when it is rightly ordered likens us unto God himself, as far as that is possible for it is charity which makes the man.
Saint John Chrysostom
