If you want to conquer anger, develop meekness and generosity.

And "withdrawal from the world" is nothing but the destruction of passions and manifestation of the innermost life in Christ.

... Do not let the deeds and thoughts of other people confuse you; let them not prompt you to do or say anything evil!

If you want to conquer anger, develop meekness and generosity.

The acme of faith is... immersion of the mind in God.

If you want to conquer conceit, do not desire praise, laurels, nice garments, respect, favor, but like to be blamed and slandered by people.

This purity is attained through conquering the passions.
