More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
Dost thou wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to thy neighbor.
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
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
How many of you say: I should like to see His face, His garments, His shoes. You do see Him, you touch Him, you eat Him. He gives Himself to you, not only that you may see Him, but also to be your food and nourishment.
Saint John Chrysostom
Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.
Saint John Chrysostom
When you are weary of praying, and do not receive, consider how often you have heard a poor man calling, and have not listened to him.
Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom
Words cannot express the joy which a friend imparts.
Saint John Chrysostom
The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others.
Saint John Chrysostom
Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
Saint John Chrysostom
Words would be superfluous if we had deeds to show for Them.
Saint John Chrysostom
What is it to be a fool for Christ? It is to control one's thoughts when they stray out of line. It is to make the mind empty and free.
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
Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.
Saint John Chrysostom
Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.
Saint John Chrysostom
Musicke doth withdraw our mindes from earthly cogitations, lifteth up our spirits into heaven, maketh them light and celestial.
Saint John Chrysostom
