النفس القويـة لا تقلـق ولا تضطـرب، ولا
تخاف،ولا تنهار، ولا تتردد. أما الضعيـف
فإنـه يتخيـل مخــاوف وينزعــج بسببـها
قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث

The strong soul does not worry nor is troubled and does not fear nor hesitate; but, as for the weak soul, it envisions fear and is disturbed by them.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III
