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

إن خاتم المسيحى الظاهر هو الصليب وخاتمه الباطن هو الاتضاع

The apparent Christian’s seal is the cross, and his concealed seal is humility.

إن الله يعطيك ما ينفعك وليس ما تطلبه
إلا إذا ما تطلبه هو النــافع لــك، وذلـــك
لأنك كثيــــراً مــا تطلــب مـــا لا ينفعـك .
قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث

God will give you what is beneficial for you not from what you ask; unless, what you seek is beneficial for you, for many of what you ask is not for your benefit.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III
