Author of quotes: Basil The Great (Basil Of Caesarea). Page 1

Three individuals nasty slanderer: slandered, and the listener himself.

Excess befitting sleeping dead, not alive.

Not words cause pain, but we insulted the insolence and arrogance.

Forced learning may not be solid, but what with the joy and fun part, firmly sinks into the listening soul.

Don't tell me: "I Have a famous great-grandfathers and fathers" - the right law everyone is the master of his life to boast of.

Evil does not see that is evil.

Earned happy and accepted and saved, and that obtained without difficulty, then quickly disappears.

A good deed is never lost in vain. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; he who plants kindness, gathers the harvest of love; the grace bestowed upon a grateful soul was never barren, and gratitude usually brings reward.

Stupid rich rather sleep than wealth.

Chastity in old age is not a virtue but a weakness of powerlessness: the dead man is not crowned.
