Basil, St.

Quotes:

"A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward."

"Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have been, so also of necessity will be our dreams."

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."

"He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."

"Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows that it brings abundance to drive away hunger."
