Quote like "Anyone can endure an insult but it takes a saint to pass through praise unharmed" I read this quote several times quickly in unrelated places and didn't take down the reference because I assumed it to be popular enough for me to find it easily through google. Now I can't find it. Does anyone know who said this? I believe it was an Orthodox Christian.
The quote comes from "THE LADDER OF DIVINE ASCENT" by St John Climacus.

  People of high spirit bear offence nobly and gladly, but only holy people and saints can pass through praise without harm.
