More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
Let us not overlook so great a gain.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is a shame for a man to desire honor because of his noble progenitors, and not to deserve it by his own virtue.
Saint John Chrysostom
Do you think that the man-loving God has given you much so that you could use it only for your own benefit? No, but so that your abundance might supply the lack of others.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
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
Let us return from that Table like lions breathing out fire, terrifying to the devil!
Saint John Chrysostom
Before they committed the crime of crimes, before they killed their Master, before the cross, before the slaying of Christ, [Jewish sacrifices were] an abomination.
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
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 desire to rule is the mother of heresies.
Saint John Chrysostom
Are you angry? Be angry at your sins, beat your soul, afflict your conscience, but strict in judgement and a terrible punisher of your own sins. This is the benefit of anger, wherefore God placed it in us.
Saint John Chrysostom
You can call happy those who saw Him... But, come to the altar and you will see Him, you will touch Him, you will give to Him holy kisses, you will wash Him with your tears, you will carry Him within you like Mary Most Holy.
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
As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.
Saint John Chrysostom
Nothing is more powerful than meekness. For as fire is extinguished by water, so a mind inflated by anger is subdued by meekness. By meekness we practice and make known our virtue, and also cause the indignation of our brother to cease, and deliver his mind from perturbation.
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
I am a Christian. He who answers thus has declared everything at once-his country, profession, family the believer belongs to no city on earth but to the heavenly Jerusalem.
Saint John Chrysostom
If repentance is neglected for an instant, one can lose the power of the Resurrection as he lives with the weakness of tepidity and the potential of his fall.
Saint John Chrysostom
No matter how just your words may be, when you speak with anger, you ruin all: no matter how boldly you speak, how fairly reprove, or what not.
Saint John Chrysostom
That is true plenty, not to have, but not to want riches.
Saint John Chrysostom
