ملازمة خوف اللـه تحفظ النفس من المحاربات،
وحديث أهل العالم والإختلاط بهم يظلم النفس
وينسيها التأمل.
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Abiding in the fear of God keeps the soul from temptations; the converse of worldly people and mingling with them, darkening the soul losing its contemplation.

-St. Moses the Strong

إحفظ نفسك من الشهوة فهي أم جميع الخطايا والشِباك والمُقتَنَص بها يُضِل عقله فلا يعود يعلم شيئاً من أسرار اللـه.
القديس باخوميوس

Keep yourself away from lust, for it is the root of all sins, and he who is controlled by it, his mind is strayed and is unable to comprehend the mysteries of God.

-St. Pachomius
