The pains of hell are not the greatest part of hell; the loss of heaven is the weightiest woe of hell.
Saint John ChrysostomIntemperance is a hydra with a hundred heads. She never stalks abroad unaccompanied with impurity, anger, and the most infamous profligacies.
Saint John ChrysostomIf you wish to leave much wealth to your children, leave them in God's care. Do not leave them riches, but virtue and skill. For if they learn to expect riches, they will not mind anything besides, and their abundant riches shall give them the means of screening the wickedness of their ways.
Saint John Chrysostom
