If someone falls into any sin and is not sincerely grieved about it, it is easy for him to fall into the same thing again.

One who has sinned cannot escape retribution in any other way than by repentance corresponding to his sin.

The sign of sincere love is to forgive wrongs done to us. It was with such love that the Lord loved the world.

He who seeks forgiveness of his sins loves humility, but if he condemns another he seals his own wickedness.

No one is as good and merciful as the Lord. But even He does not forgive the unrepentant.

Whoever does not fight the one who despises him, neither in word not in thought, has received true knowledge and demonstrates a firm trust in God.

Guard your mind from self-praise and flee a high opinion of yourself, so that God does not allow you to fall into the opposite passion to the virtue for which you boast, for man does not accomplish virtue alone, but with the help of God who sees all.
