“It is impossible that one who has turned to the world and feels its anxieties, and engages his heart in the wish to please men, can fulfil that first and great commandment of the Master, You shall love God with all your heart and with all your strength Matthew 22:37 . How can he fulfil that, when he divides his heart between God and the world, and exhausts the love which he owes to Him alone in human affections?”
St Gregory of Nyssa, On Virginity

“Will life's sweetness seem worth taking delight in to him who reflects on this? Will he ever be able really to feel it, so as to have joy in the goods he holds? Will he not, disturbed by the constant fear of some reverse, have the use without the enjoyment?”
St Gregory of Nyssa

“He who is of so weak a character that he cannot make a manful stand against nature's impulse had better keep himself very far away from such temptations, rather than descend into a combat which is above his strength.”
St Gregory of Nyssa
