Elder Paisios Of Mount Athos Quotes

Thoughts are like airplanes flying in the air. If you ignore them, there is no problem. If you pay attention to them, you create an airport inside your head and permit them to land!

Do not believe your thoughts, neither when they tell you that you are terrible, nor when they tell you that you are a saint.

The goal is to rise spiritually, not simply to avoid sin.

So in every test, let us say: "Thank you, my God, because this was needed for my salvation."
