The true aim of our Christian life consists in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God. As for fasts, and vigils, and prayer, and almsgiving, and every good deed done for Christ's sake, they are only means of acquiring the Holy Spirit of God.
Seraphim of Sarov
Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.
John Chrysostom
A man should pray that God grant him, the possibility of doing a kind act, or say a kind word. Every good deed comes from God, and without Him, men cannot do them.
Gabriel Urgebadze

Elihu Root

Denis Diderot
