When we teach our children to be good, to be gentle, to be forgiving (all these are attributes of God), to be generous, to love their follow men, to regard this present age as nothing, we instill virtue in their souls, and reveal the image of God within them.

What greater work is there than training the mind and forming the habits of the young?

Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen from the grave.

The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.

Do you think that the man-loving God has given you much so that you could use it only for your own benefit? No, but so that your abundance might supply the lack of others.

It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.

One who strictly prosecutes the misdemeanors of others will find not condescension towards his own.
