Image
Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?

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
The pains of hell are not the greatest part of hell the loss of heaven is the weightiest woe of hell.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Why not learn to enjoy the little things-there are so many of them.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Slander is worse than cannibalism.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
That is true plenty, not to have, but not to want riches.
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
From the creation learn to admire thy Lord! And if any of the things thou see exceed thy comprehension, and thou are not able to find the reason thereof, yet for this glorify the Creator, that the wisdom of these works surpass thine understanding.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Let us not overlook so great a gain.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent.
Saint John Chrysostom
