"The man who endures
accusations against himself with humility has arrived at
perfection. He is marveled at by the holy angels, for there is
no other virtue so great and so hard to achieve."
St Isaac of Syria
"Good and God-loving men accuse people of something bad when
they are present, but when they are absent they not only refrain
from accusing them, but do not permit others to do so when they
attempt to speak of them." From St.
Anthony the Great (170 Texts on Saintly Life no. 30) REF:Fr
Seraphim Rose, "Letters"
