Quote by Tikhon of Zadonsk

“If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.”

“They have founded the whole structure of their happiness on these very illusions, which ought to be combated and dissipated by the light of knowledge, and they would think they were paying too dearly for a truth which begins by robbing them of all that has value in their sight.”

“Ah! my dear boy, a key, the key of a door which one can lock — this is happiness, mark you, the only happiness!”

“What reasons have you to envy anything?”
