St. John Climacus: The law of love is an incentive to attempt things that are beyond our capacity...

It is impossible to hide the fact that our mind, which is the organ of knowledge, is extremely imperfect and full of all kinds of ignorance.

The palate distinguishes different foods, the hearing discerns thoughts, the sun reveals the weakness of the eyes, and words betray a soul’s ignorance.

But the law of love is an incentive to attempt things that are beyond our capacity.

St. John Climacus
