لا يوجد ههنا طعام أو شراب، بل جوع و عطش دائم.
القديس إكليمندس

Here there is no food or drinking, but continuous hunger and thirst.

-St. Clement

إن الله يعطيك ما ينفعك وليس ما تطلبه
إلا إذا ما تطلبه هو النــافع لــك، وذلـــك
لأنك كثيــــراً مــا تطلــب مـــا لا ينفعـك .
قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث

God will give you what is beneficial for you not from what you ask; unless, what you seek is beneficial for you, for many of what you ask is not for your benefit.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III
