It is not your outward appearance that you should beautify, but your soul, adorning it with good works.
Clement of AlexandriaThe purified righteous man has become a coin of the Lord, and has the impress of his King stamped upon him.
Clement of AlexandriaAll our life is like a day of celebration for us; we are convinced, in fact, that God is always everywhere. We work while singing, we sail while reciting hymns, we accomplish all other occupations of life while praying.
Clement of AlexandriaWhen the two shall be one, the outside as the inside, and the male and the female neither male nor female.
Clement of AlexandriaHe who prohibited the making of a graven image would never himself have made an image in the likeness of holy things [i.e., by creating an image of them here on earth]. Nor is there at all any composite thing or creature endowed with sensation [made by God here on earth] like those in heaven. But the face is a symbol of the rational soul, the wings are the lofty ministers and energies of powers right and left, and the voice is delightful glory in endless contemplation.
