Quotes on Orthodoxy / St. Joseph of Optina

“Do not starve the soul.”

Prayer is food for the soul. Do not starve the soul, it is better to let the body go hungry. Do not judge anyone, forgive everyone. Consider yourself worse than everyone in the world and you will be saved. As much as possible, be more quiet.
