Peace Overcomes The Passions

"Each of us is attacked and led astray by the passions; but if he is at peace with God and with his neighbor, he overcomes them all. These passions are the 'world' which St. John the Theologian told us to hate, meaning that we are to hate, not God's creatures, but worldly desires."
Saint Peter of Damascus
