Quote by Saint John Chrysostom

“If we were not passionately inclined to money or to vainglory, then we would not fear death or poverty. We would not know enmity or hatred, and we would not suffer from the sorrows of ourselves or others.”

Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom (c. 347 – September 14, 407) was an early Church Father and Archbishop of Constantinople, renowned for his eloquent preaching and oratory, earning the epithet 'Chrysostom' meaning 'golden-mouthed.' Born in Antioch, he received a classical education and later became a hermit. His sermons emphasized moral reform, social justice, and biblical exegesis, often criticizing luxury and corruption. His conflicts with the imperial court and clergy led to multiple exiles, and he died during a forced march. His extensive writings, including homilies, commentaries, and letters, profoundly influenced Eastern Christianity. He is venerated as a saint and Doctor of the Church in Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and other traditions. more

All of this is naturally necessary in the matter of salvation, necessary in it entirety and for all. Whoever rejects or neglects any part of it has no salvation.”

“Now, as Mandelbrot points out, ... Nature has played a joke on the mathematicians. The 19th-century mathematicians may not have been lacking in imagination, but Nature was not. The same pathological structures that the mathematicians invented to break loose from 19th-century naturalism turn out to be inherent in familiar objects all around us.”
