Life may not be the fairytale we hoped for, but if anyone deserves a happy ending, it' you

The best blush to use is laughter: It put roses in your cheeks and in your soul

Hold on to what is good,
even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if I've gone away from you

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise

What you are is God's gift to you, what you make of yourself is your gift to God

Never be afraid to try, remember... Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else

...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings.

"The heart that is freed from imaginings ends up by producing in itself holy and mysterious thoughts, as on a calm sea you sea fish leaping and dolphins gambolling."

Hesychius of Batos

"A man who gives way to his passions is like a man who is shot at by an enemy, catches the arrow in his hands, and then plunges it into his own heart. A man who is resisting his passions is like a man who is shot at by an enemy, and although the arrow hits him, it does not seriously wound him because he is wearing a breastplate. But the man who is uprooting his passions is like a man who is shot at by an enemy, but strikes the arrow and shatters it or turns it back into his enemy's heart."

"An Athonite elder said, "Let us build a factory of good thoughts. If a factory produces bullets and we feed it iron, it will make bullets. If the factory makes chalices and we feed it with gold, it will produce gold chalices. If we feed it iron it will make chalices of iron. Whatever thoughts we put inot our minds, that is what we will get."

---From An Athonite Gerontikon
