Gregory of Nazianzus quotes - page 2

Gregory of Nazianzus was a prominent early Christian theologian and Archbishop of Constantinople. Renowned for his eloquent sermons and writings, he played a crucial role in shaping the doctrine of the Trinity. He is widely venerated as one of the Cappadocian Fathers and as a saint in both Eastern and Western Christianity. Here are 28 of his quotes:

Do you conceive of your Lord as less because? He shows that humiliation is the best road to exaltation (cf. Mt. 23:12); because He humbles Himself for the sake of the soul that is bent down to the ground, that He may even exalt within Himself that which is bent double under a weight of sin?... If so, you must blame the physician for stooping over suffering and putting up with evil smells in order to give health to the sick?

Gregory of Nazianzus

God thought and things came to be, in-formed: the divine thought is the complicated womb of all that is. For it's not likely that, like some painter, He conjured up an image from a similar image, having seen beforehand things which His own one mind did not write.
