From the sayings of SAINT JOHN CLIMACUS about PURITY

“When you show God the weakness of your soul and accept, that you are absolutely weak, then you will gain chastity without even realizing it.”

“There is nothing damaging chastity more than a bent for insolence and free treatment, which rejects modesty.”

“Some people appreciate eunuchs because of their nature, as they are free from corporal temptation. But I appreciate those, who emasculates himself with his mind like with a knife.”
