Macarius of Egypt Quotes

• The heart itself is only a small vessel,
  yet dragons are there, and lions,
  there are poisonous beasts,
  and all the treasures of evil,
  there are rough and uneven roads,
  there are precipes;
  but there too is God and the angels,
  life is there, and the Kingdom,
  there too is light, and there the apostles
  and heavenly cities,
  and treasures of grace.
  All things lie within that little space.
