“We are philosophers – not in words – but in deeds. We do not speak great things; we live them.” – Cyprian

Clement of Alexandria:

“Open your compassion to all who are enrolled as the disciples of God. Don’t look contemptuously at personal appearance. Don’t be carelessly disposed to only a certain age group. If someone appears to be penniless, or ragged, or ugly, or feeble, don’t let your soul fret about it and turn away from them. Our bodies are only a form cast around us. They are the occasion of our entrance into this world, and they allow us to enter into this common school. But inside of us dwells the hidden Father, and His Son, who died for us and rose with us.”
