Venerable Dorotheos: Believe that dishonors and reproaches are medicines that heal the pride of thy soul...

Believe that dishonors and reproaches are medicines that heal the pride of thy soul, and pray for those who reproach thee, as for true physicians of thy soul, being assured that he who hates dishonor, hates humility, and he who avoids those who grieve him, flees from meekness.

Venerable Dorotheos
