John Chrysostom Quotes

A collection of quotes by John Chrysostom.

John Chrysostom (c. 349-407) was a prominent early Church Father and Archbishop of Constantinople. He was born in Antioch and became famous for his eloquent sermons, earning him the title "Chrysostom," which means "golden-mouthed" in Greek. Chrysostom emphasized the importance of practical morality and asceticism, advocating for social justice and criticizing corruption within the Church and society. His writings profoundly influenced Christian theology and ethics, tackling topics such as marriage, charity, and the role of bishops. Despite his influential teachings, Chrysostom faced exile multiple times due to conflicts with political and ecclesiastical authorities.

We follow the ways of wolves, the habits of tigers: or, rather we are worse than they. To them nature has assigned that they should be thus fed, while God has honoured us with rational speech and a sense of equity. And yet we are become worse than the wild beast.
