Gregory Palamas

Ephraim of Arizona

A person cannot choose the time in which he is born or lives; it is not up to him, who his parents are, or the nation he will be born into, but what he is responsible for is how he will act in that given time: will he be human or inhuman.

Pavle (Serbian)

God loves you more than you love yourself, and takes care for you better than you ever could. So stop worrying and rely on Him, Who can arrange your affairs better than you can.
