| Φιλήδονος καρδία, εἰρκτὴ καὶ ἄλυσι τῇ ψυχῇ ἐν καιρῷ ἐξόδου· ἡ δὲ φιλόπονος, θύρα ἐστὶν ἀνεῳγμένη. Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ Source: Migne PG 65.908 |
A pleasure loving heart is an imprisonment and a chaining of the soul against the time of its going out; the lover of trial opens the door.
Saint Mark The Ascetic, from On The Spiritual Law. |
