Text Quotes
Memory is the cabinet of imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and the council chamber of thought (Saint Basil Quotes)
Lust hath these three companions: the first, blindness of understanding; the second, hardness of heart; the third, want of grace (Saint Basil Quotes)
If everyone would take only according to his needs and would leave the surplus to the needy, no one would be rich, no one poor, no one in misery (Saint Basil Quotes)
We do not accost a physician as we do any mere nobody; nor a magistrate as we do a private individual. We try to get some advantage from the skill of the one and the position of the other. Walk in the sun, and your shadow will follow you, whether you will or not (Saint Basil Quotes)
The bread you store up belongs to the hungry; the cloak that lies in your chest belongs to the naked; the gold you have hidden in the ground belongs to the poor (Saint Basil Quotes)
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger (Saint Basil Quotes)
Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them (Saint Basil Quotes)
Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have been, so also of necessity will be our dreams (Saint Basil Quotes)
When someone steals another’s clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor (Saint Basil Quotes)
We must always be on guard lest, under the pretext of keeping one commandment, we be found breaking another (Saint Basil Quotes)
If every man took only what was sufficient for his needs, leaving the rest to those in want, there would be no rich and no poor (Saint Basil Quotes)
You can see that a city is prosperous by the wealth of goods for sale in the market. Land too we call prosperous if it bears rich fruit. And so also the soul may be counted prosperous if it is full of good works of every kind (Saint Basil Quotes)
What is there astonishing in the death of a mortal? But we are grieved at his dying before his time. Are we sure that this was not his time? We do not know how to pick and choose what is good for our souls, or how to fix the limits of the life of man (Saint Basil Quotes)
Just as a very little fresh water is blown away by a storm of wind and dust, in like manner the good deeds, that we think we do in this life, are overwhelmed by the multitude of evils (Saint Basil Quotes)
I heard many discourses which were good for the soul, but I could not discover in the case of any one of the teachers that his life was worthy of his words (Saint Basil Quotes)
When someone steals a person’s clothes, we call him a thief. Should we not also give the same name to the one who could clothe the naked but does not? (Saint Basil Quotes)
The woman who purposely destroys her unborn child is guilty of murder. With us there is no nice enquiry as to its being formed or unformed (Saint Basil Quotes)
In truth, to know oneself seems to be the hardest of all things. Not only our eye, which observes external objects, does not use the sense of sight upon itself, but even our mind, which contemplates intently another’s sin, is slow in the recognition of its own defects (Saint Basil Quotes)
Men whose sense of taste is destroyed by sickness, sometimes think honey sour. A diseased eye does not see many things which do exist, and notes many things which do not exist. The same thing frequently takes place with regard to the force of words, when the critic is inferior to the writer (Saint Basil Quotes)
The bread which you use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit (Saint Basil Quotes)
The hairsplitting difference between formed and unformed makes no difference to us. Whoever deliberately commits abortion is subject to the penalty for homicide (Saint Basil Quotes)
A woman who deliberately destroys a fetus is answerable for murder. And any fine distinction as to its being completely formed or unformed is not admissible amongst us (Saint Basil Quotes)
There is still time for endurance, time for patience, time for healing, time for change. Have you slipped? Rise up. Have you sinned? Cease. Do not stand among sinners, but leap aside (Saint Basil Quotes)
Troubles are usually the brooms and shovels that smooth the road to a good man’s fortune (Saint Basil Quotes)
If one had taken what is necessary to cover one’s needs and had left the rest to those who are in need, no one would be rich, no one would be poor, no one would be in need (Saint Basil Quotes)
What is the mark of love for your neighbor? Not to seek what is for your own benefit, but what is for the benefit of the one loved, both in body and in soul (Saint Basil Quotes)
The steam of meat darkens the light of the spirit...One hardly can have virtue when one enjoys meat meals and feasts (Saint Basil Quotes)
Any one who chooses will set up for a literary critic, though he cannot tell us where he went to school, or how much time was spent in his education, and knows nothing about letters at all (Saint Basil Quotes)
God who created us has granted us the faculty of speech that we might disclose the counsels of our hearts to one another and that, since we possess our human nature in common, each of us might share his thoughts with his neighbor, bringing them forth from the secret recesses of the heart as from a treasury (Saint Basil Quotes)
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love (Saint Basil Quotes)
