The Way of a Pilgrim and Other Classics of Russian Spirituality Quotes

“When your brother sins against you in any way—for instance, if he speaks ill of you, or transmits with an evil intention your words in a perverted form to another, or calumniates you—do not be angered against him, but seek to find in him those good qualities which undoubtedly exist in every man, and dwell lovingly on them, despising his evil calumnies concerning you as dross, not worth attention, as an illusion of the Devil.”
― G.P. Fedotov, The Way of a Pilgrim and Other Classics of Russian Spirituality

“Suffer all things and strive to please Christ. Your well-wisher and servant, Tychon, Bishop of Voronezh September 1773.”
