God is the supreme good from Whom every good thing flows, and all blessing that is and ever shall be. Without God all blessedness is cursedness and woe, life is death, joy and sweetness are bitterness. To live with God is happiness in misfortune, riches in poverty, glory in dishonor, and consolation in sorrow. Without God there cannot be true repose, peace and consolation.
–Saint Tikhon (1724-1783)
