إياك والكذب فهو يطرد
خوف اللـه من الإنسان
الأنبا أنطونيوس الكبير

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

لا تكن قليل السمع لئلا تكون وعــاء
لجميع الشرور فضــع في قلبـــــك أن
تسمع لأبيك فتحل بركة اللـه عليك.
الأنبا أنطونيوس الكبير

Lack of hearing denatures one into a vessel of all evil deeds, therefore, put in your heart to listen to your father so the blessing of God would come upon you.

-St. Anthony the Great
