SO GOOD QUOTES

Recall the memory of hell and punishment and vengeance during the time of your prayer, and you will not be able even to receive your enemy into your mind. Make your mind contrite, humble your soul by the memory of the offences you committed, and wrath will not be able even to trouble you.

But the cause of all these evils is this: that we scrutinize the sins of all others with great exactitude, while we let our own pass with great remissness. Whereas we ought to do the contra-ry-to keep our own faults unforgotten, and never even to admit a thought of those of others. If we do this we shall have God propitious and shall cease cherishing immortal anger against our neighbors, and we shall never have anyone as an enemy.

—Saint John Chrysostom
