“Lord and Master of my life, Take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.* But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.* Yea, O Lord and King, Grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, For blessed art Thou, unto ages of ages. Amen.*   *”
― Alexander Men, An Inner Step Toward God: Writings and Teachings on Prayer by Father Alexander Men

“Терпимость — результат высокого развития личности и культуры вообще. Это наша цель. Достигается она очень непросто. Ей содействует широта, благородство души, отсутствие комплекса неполноценности. Нетерпимость рождается главным образом у невротиков и ущербных людей.”
― Александр Мень, Трудный путь к диалогу
