Saint Basil said this quote

To lovers of the truth, nothing can be put before God and hope in Him.

~ Saint Basil

Indulging in unrestrained and immoderate laughter is a sign of intemperance, of a want of control over one's emotions, and of failure to repress the soul's frivolity by a stern use of reason.

~ Saint Basil

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.

~ Saint Basil

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.

~ Saint Basil
