لا تضع فى نفسك أنك حكيم فتقع فى أيدى أعدائك.
الأنبا أشعياء

Do not think of yourself as wise lest you fall into the hands of your enemies.

-St. Isaiah

إن أردت أن ُتـريــح النــاس فإفعــل
ذلك بالطريقة التي يرونهــا مريحـة
لهم، ليس حسب فكرك لأنــك ربمـا قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث
تحاول أن تريحهـم بأسـلوب يُتعبهم.

If you desire to comfort people, do so in a way that is comforting for them, not according to your will, for you may attempt in a way that discomforts them.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III

Sayings of the Desert Fathers

قهر الشهوة يدل على تمام الفضيلة
والإنهزام لها يدل على نقص المعرفة
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Defeating lust shows perfection of virtue and its defeat shows the lack of knowledge.

-St. Moses the Strong
