Quote by St. Gennadius of Constantinople,Ancient Patericon & St. John of the Ladder ~ Vainglory

   Do not seek earthly glory in any matter, for it is extinguished for him who loves it. In its time it blows on a man like a strong wind, and then quickly, taking from him the fruits of his good works, it goes away from him, laughing at his foolishness.

(St. Gennadius of Constantinople, The Golden Chain, 35)


   Abba Pimen said, he who fervently desires the love of men is deprived of the love of God. In is not good to be liked by everyone, for it is said, "Woe to you, when all men speak well of you." (Luke 6:26)

(Ancient Patericon, 8:16)


   Often the Lord heals vainglory by dishonor.

(St. John of the Ladder, Ladder, 22.38)



[It is possible to struggle against love of honor and vainglory in this way:] When you hear that your neighbor or friend has reproached you in your absence or presence, then show love and praise him.
 
(St. John of the Ladder, 22:15)
