Quotes by Theodoret

1 quotation from Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), with the subject each one is filed under.

When He bears us along in His tender and paternal bosom, then it is that we forget Him; in the sweetness of His gifts we forget the Giver; His ceaseless blessings, instead of melting us into love, distract our attention, and turn it away from Him. The sun by the action of heat makes wax moist and mud dry, hardening the one while it softens the other, by the same operation producing exactly opposite results; thus, from the long-suffering of God, some derive benefit, and others harm; some are softened, while others are hardened. -— filed under God's Goodness
