More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
When an archer desires to shoot his arrows successfully, he first takes great pains over his posture and aligns himself accurately with his mark. It should be the same for you who are about to shoot the head of the wicked devil. Let us be concerned first for the good order of sensations and then for the good posture of inner thoughts.'
Saint John Chrysostom
If you would rise, shun luxury, for luxury lowers and degrades.
Saint John Chrysostom
The pains of hell are not the greatest part of hell the loss of heaven is the weightiest woe of hell.
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
Words would be superfluous if we had deeds to show for Them.
Saint John Chrysostom

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
Surely we ought to show them (animals) great kindness and gentleness for many reasons, but, above all, because they are of the same origin as ourselves.
Saint John Chrysostom
The test of sincerity of one's prayer is the willingness to labor on its behalf.
Saint John Chrysostom
Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent.
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
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
Slander is worse than cannibalism.
Saint John Chrysostom
Nothing will divide the church so much as the love of power.
Saint John Chrysostom
The desire to rule is the mother of heresies.
Saint John Chrysostom
The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.
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
