"When you take food to nourish your body, you can scarcely be induced to
leave the table before you have fully satisfied your need and, except
for an urgent reason, you will not readily do so. How much more eagerly
ought you to linger over spiritual nourishment and strengthen your soul
with prayer; for the soul is as far superior to the body as heaven is
above the earth and -heavenly things above those of earth."
-Saint
Basil the Great on prayer
