If you begin to guard wealth it will not be yours. But if you begin to distribute it, you will not lose it.
Saint BasilDrunkenness, the ruin of reason, the destruction of strength, premature old age, momentary death.
Saint BasilThere is nothing unpremeditated, nothing neglected by God. His unsleeping eye beholds all things.
Saint Basil[Every disappointment or misfortune can become a blessing in disguise, for which we should be grateful. But only if the hidden blessing is anticipated, expected and searched for will it be found and recognised as such and the most made of it. For example...] Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.
