A Prison Camp Like Paradise

"Humble yourself, humble yourself. All science, all the wisdom of life are summed up in these words: I was brought low and the Lord saved me (Ps. 114:5). Humble yourself and endure everything. Learn humility and patience and you will have peace of soul. Be assured, that for one who has peace of soul, even [a] prison camp will be like Paradise."
Saint Barsanuphius of Optina
