درِّب جسدك على طاعة نفسك،
ودرِّب نفسك على طاعة اللـه.
القديس باسيليوس

Train your body to obey your soul and train your soul to obey God.

-St. Basil

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

ثلاثة أشياء يستنير بها العقل: الإحسان إلى مَن أســـاء
إليك، والصبر على ما ينالك مِن أعدائك، وترك
النظـــــــرأو الحسد لمَن يتقدمك في الدنيا. القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Three things enlighten the mind: doing good to those who trespass against you, patiently enduring the hardships of the enemy, and abstaining from judgment and envy towards those preceding you in life.

-St. Moses the Strong
