Regard as free not those whose status makes them outwardly free, but those who are free in their character and conduct. For we should not call men truly free when they are wicked and dissolute, since they are slaves to worldly passions. Freedom and happiness of soul consist in genuine purity and detachment from transitory things.
Anthony the GreatTo say that God turns away from the sinful is like saying that the sun hides from the blind.
Anthony the GreatWhen you lie down on your bed to sleep, remember with thanksgiving the blessings and the providence of God.
