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
That is true plenty, not to have, but not to want riches.

Slander is worse than cannibalism.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.
