الرهبنة هي: الصوم بمقدار، والصلاة بمداومة

وعفة الجسد وطهارة القلب وسكوت اللسان وحفظ النظر والتعب بقدرالإمكان والزهد في كل شئ

القديس باخوميوس

Monasticism is: prolonged fasting, continuous prayers, purity of the body, purity of the heart, silence of the tongue, conservation of the sight, pursuit of hardship, and attaining asceticism.

-St. Pachomius

الذى يصالح نفسه خير من الذى
يصالح الفضلاء والذى يدبر نفسه
خير من الذى يدبر غيره
القديس باسيليوس

He who reconciles himself is better than he who reconciles the virtuous and he who manages himself is better than he who manages another

-St. Basil
