ممقوت عند اللـه كل نياح جسدانى
الأنبا بيمن

إذا جلست على المائدة لتأكل مع الإخوة فلا تتحدث مع أحد وإن حدثوك فلا تجبهم حتى تفرغ من الأكل وأشكر اللـه على جميع أفعاله وعطاياه
القديس إكليمندس

If you sit at the table to eat with the brethrens, do not converse with anyone, and if someone converses with you, do not answer until you finish eating and have thanked God for all His works and gifts.

-St. Clement

لا تسأل أن تجرى الأمور حسب هواك لأن اللـه أسبق معرفة منك بالأصلح لك
القديس باخوميوس

Do not ask for the handling of matters according to your will for God has the foreknowledge for that which is suitable for you.

-St. Pachomius
