“When someone is conquered by thoughts it is a sign that pride preceded them, and therefore, he must humble himself more.” - St. Macarius of Optina

“The proud always suffer from demons.” - St. Silouan the Athonite

"Do not say: 'I am using what belongs to me.' You are using what belongs to others. All the wealth of the world belongs to you and to the others in common, as the sun, air, earth, and all the rest." Saint John Chrysostom
