Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk Quotes

“But peace, he said, is the result neither of life in the world nor of that in solitude, where the mind is still assailed by turbulent thoughts. Peace is the fruit only of a pure conscience and of patience, those inseparable powers which one acquires through sorrow -- till one reaches the true quiet of eternity.”
― Nadejda Gorodetzky, Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk: Inspirer of Dostoevsky
