“Love your personal enemies, hate the enemies of Christ, destroy the enemies of the fatherland.”
St. Philaret of Moscow

“The body is perishable, and therefore cannot bear the full tension of an immortal soul. Instead, the body either pulls back at the soul’s forward motion or runs the risk of rejecting it completely and being destroyed. Moreover, it is infected with sin and bound by habits that run contrary to virtue. As for the mind, not only is it distracted by cares for its earthly home (that is, the body), but it is also bound with prejudices, darkened and led astray by passions of the heart, and deluded by phantoms of the emotions and imagination.”
Philaret of Moscow, Sermons on the Spiritual Life

“Thus, do not be angry with me, all you lovers of joy, merriment, and amusements. I desire (and I think is necessary for your benefit) that you have more peace in your heart than joy, merriment, and amusements.”
Philaret of Moscow, Sermons on the Spiritual Life
