If you sincerely desire to have freedom from the passions and from all spiritual ailments and blasphemous thoughts, and learn humility, you must spit out all your rebellious pride and trample on it with your own feet. Through this your youth will be renewed as an eagle, and from a self-willed and sinful man you will be made and Angel of God.
St Anthony the Great

Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
