Does not the gratitude of the dog put to shame any man who is ungrateful to his benefactors?
Saint BasilAs God illumines all people equally with the light of the sun, so do those who desire to imitate God let shine an equal ray of love on all people. For wherever love disappears, hatred immediately appears in its place. And if God is love, then hatred is the devil. Therefore as one who has love has God within himself, so he who has hatred within himself nurtures the devil within himself.
Saint BasilHe who is guilty of unseemliness with males will be under discipline for the same time as adulterers.
