Saint John Chrysostom Quotes About Failing

Quotes about: Failing

• Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.

  Saint John Chrysostom

  Prayer, Heart, Catholic

• I do not know whether anyone has ever succeeded in not enjoying praise. And, if we enjoy it, we naturally wants to receive it. And if we want to receive it, we cannot help but being distraught at losing it. Those who are in love with applause have their spirits starved not only when they are blamed off-hand, but even when they fail to be constantly praised.

  Saint John Chrysostom

• It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
