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

أربعة يحتاج إليها العقل كل ساعة:
الصلاة الدائمة بسجود قلبي – محاربة الأفكار –
أن تعتبر ذاتك خاطئاً – ألا تدين أحداً.
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Four things the mind needs every hour: continuous prayers with a contrite heart, fighting of thoughts, considering yourself a sinner, and not judging others.

أربعة أمور يتحرك بها الغضب في الإنسان:
الأخذ والعطاء – إتمام الهوى – محبته في
أن يُعلِّم غيره – ظنه في نفسه أنه عاقل.
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Four things that move a person to anger: giving and taking – the need in fulfilling the heart’s desires – love of teaching – and being wise in his own eyes.
