More Isaac the Syrian quotes
Conquer evil people by gentle kindness, and make zealous people wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion.
Isaac the Syrian
Satan's whole concern is to convince man that God does not care about him.
Isaac the Syrian
Let them push you, but do not push; Let them crucify you, but do not crucify. Let them insult, but do not insult. Let them slander, but do not slander. Be meek, and do not be zealous in evil.
Isaac the Syrian
Above anything, welcome silence, for it brings fruits that no tongue can speak of, neither can it be explained.
Isaac the Syrian
Humility collects the soul into a single point by the power of silence. A truly humble man has no desire to be known or admired by others, but wishes to plunge from himself into himself, to become nothing, as if he had never been born. When he is completely hidden to himself in himself, he is completely with God.
Isaac the Syrian
