Additional quotes by Ignatius Bryanchaninov

It is harder to fool the conscience than the mind. The conscience is capable of fighting long and hard against the mind deluded by its love of sin.

Do not waste time trying to determine who is right and who is wrong, you or your neighbor. Instead, try to accuse yourself and preserve peace with your neighbor through your humility.

He who has felt spiritual love will only despise carnal love, seeing it for the unsightly parody of love that it is.

Let us not foolishly waste our abilities of soul and body; let us not bring them as a sacrifice to the vain and fading world. - Ignatius Bryanchaninov
