True perfection consists...in having but one fear, the loss of God's friendship..
St Gregory of Nyssa
People can do me no evil, as long as I have no wounds.
St Nicholas Velimirovich
When there is no patience, all goodness in the soul is quickly suppressed and
sin grows...
St Raphael of Lesvos
For while a man is still competing in the arena he cannot be sure of victory...
St Isaiah the Solitary
