For this is the safest way to protect the good things you enjoy: Realize how much your Creator has honored you above all other creatures.  He did not make the heavens in His image, nor the moon, the sun, the beauty of the stars or anything else which surpasses understanding.

You alone are a reflection of eternal beauty, a receptacle of happiness, an image of the true light.  And, if you look to Him, you will become what He is, imitating Him who shines within you, whose glory is reflected in your purity.

Nothing in the entire creation can equal your grandeur. All the heavens can fit into the palm of the hand of God . . . Although He is so great that He can hold all creation in His palm, you can wholly embrace Him.  He dwells in you.”
—St. Gregory of Nyssa

He who has power over the kosmos permitted, moved by his great consideration for man, that something should be under our complete control, where each person is the only lord. 1/2

This is our liberty of choice, a reality which is not subject to enslavement, free, based upon the liberty of our reason.
—St Gregory Nyssen 2/2
