“Accordingly I beseech you let us so perform all our actions that we may not fail to obtain such glory as this. To obtain it is by no means difficult if we desire it or arduous if we apply ourselves to it. For If we endure we shall also reign. What is the meaning of If we endure? If we patiently bear tribulations and persecutions; if we walk the narrow path. The narrow path is unattractive by nature but becomes easy when we choose to follow it because of our hope for the future.” – St John Chrysostom
