In vain you will ask from God any good without suffering. For suffering
is the very heart of every good, of glory, and of pleasure as well.

Every drop of Christ's innocent blood must be paid for by a lake of
men's blood.

It is better to die for the Cross than to live against the Cross.

When you fight for Freedom you are helping every slave in the world, not
only yourself.

Freedom is an atmosphere which makes the sun brighter, and the air
clearer, and the honey sweeter.

To die for the Cross and Freedom means two lives and no death.

A wolf never can so badly enslave a fellow-wolf as a man can enslave a

It is not easier to live in freedom than to fight for freedom. One must
fight for freedom as an archangel, but one must live in freedom as a
saint.

should bow your head low; and when you pass the palace of a man who
lives for wealth and pleasure, only turn your head the other way.

refused on the eve of the _battle of Kossovo_ to negotiate with the
Turkish Sultan, whom he regarded as a bearer of injustice and an enemy
of Christianity.

I was very sorry to see that Greece broke her pledged word and
thoughtlessly refused to keep her treaty with Serbia, whereas France
with England, who had no signed treaty with Serbia, came and did what in
the first place it was Greece's duty to do. I was still more glad and
hopeful in regard to the future of mankind, seeing a great difference of
moral views between the leading nations of human civilisation like the
English and French, and a small nation like the Greek, which is
commencing to learn again what many hundred years ago Greece taught all
other nations. And I
