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.

إياك والكذب فهو يطرد
خوف اللـه من الإنسان

Sayings of the Desert Fathers
monks learning

#39

إن الراهب غريب في أرض غريبــــــــة،
فإذا أراد أن يجد راحــــة فعليـــه أن لا
ُيشغل نفسه بأي شئ فيهــــــا.
القديس أرسانيوس

The monk is a sojourner in a strange land. If he wants to find true comfort, he must not occupy himself with anything in it.

-St. Arsenius
