More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
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
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
Nothing causes us to so nearly resemble God as the forgiveness of injuries.
Saint John Chrysostom
Words would be superfluous if we had deeds to show for Them.
Saint John Chrysostom
Let us always guard our tongue not that it should always be silent, but that it should speak at the proper time.
Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom
Dost thou wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to thy neighbor.
Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom
In the Christian combat, not the striker, as in the Olympic contests, but he who is struck, wins the crown. This is the law in the celestial theatre, where the Angels are the spectators.
Saint John Chrysostom
Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.
Saint John Chrysostom
This is what an excellent teacher does he does not follow his disciples' fancy everywhere, but leads them to his own mind, and pulls up the thorns, and then puts the seed in, and does not answer at once in all cases to the questions put to him.
Saint John Chrysostom
There is nothing colder than a Christian who does not seek to save others.
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
Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.
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
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
Shall I tell you of their plundering, their covetousness, their abandonment of the poor, their thefts, their cheating in trade?
Saint John Chrysostom
Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.
Saint John Chrysostom
