He who does not envy the spiritually mature and is merciful to the wicked has attained an equal love for all….Spiritual commerce consists in being detached equally from the pleasures and the pains of this life for the sake of the blessings held in store….
To each virtue there is an opposing vice; hence the wicked take vices for virtues.
~St Thalassios the Libyan
