Author of quotes: Elder Paisios Of The Holy Mountain

If people don't love your job, you will be doubly tired - physically, and mentally. And once he will be weary soul, and bodily rest will not restore his power. Mental fatigue - that exhaust man. Working from the heart and experiencing the joy, the person is not knocked out of their spiritual strength and bodily fatigue too disappears.

What do modern people? Buy, purchase, acquire, things, machines, appliances and a lot of other things. Of course, they don't have enough money, and they do not know peace. Have to limit their needs and not have unreasonable requests, because when we are content with only the necessary, we don't have all the time to spend on the job. Then there is the opportunity to be home with your family, play with children, do household chores, pray and just warm up in the family warmth and comfort, not to spend half my life on the road.

The ungrateful man is always sad.

People came to the earth to give people love, be faithful, protect their families, to help others. This is a great mission.

Love is inseparable from humility. In love you find humility, and in humility find love.

Know what to do? Cleave unto God, as the child grabs the neck of his father, hug Him and not let go, so He could not you from Yourself to zoom out. Then you will feel the reliability and strength. ⠀

To save a bad husband, God gives him a good wife. And Vice versa.

Bitter medicine is often more useful than sweet because the bitter heals the disease. Real joy is born of pain.

Just loving someone is not enough. Got to love a man more than myself.

To bear the wrongs and injustice - that is courage.

God especially hears the prayer of one who, suffering himself, asking Him to heal others.

The study itself is the most useful of all other studies. People can read many books, but if he doesn't watch out, my reading does not bring him any benefit. But if he take care of himself, then the benefits it receives, even if he reads a little. In the latter case, the actions, the behavior of man flat out - whatever he was doing. Otherwise, he commits blunders and understand it.

The world suffers, dies, and unfortunately, all people are forced to live among this worldly torment. People suffering have no end. The total decomposition of the - families, adults, children. Every day my heart bleeds. Most feels great abandonment, indifference - especially now - can feel it everywhere. People nothing to hold on to. Just as the saying goes: "a Drowning man grabs his own hair," that is a drowning man looking for something to hold on, as if to escape. People are looking for, about what they could lean on, something to grasp. And if they have no faith to lean on her if they did not trust God enough to completely rely on Him, they cannot avoid suffering. Trust in God - a great thing.
