There is nothing unpremeditated, nothing neglected by God. His unsleeping eye beholds all things Picture Quote #1

As we were baptized, so we profess our belief. As we profess our belief, so also we offer praise. As then baptism has been given us by the Savior, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, so, in accordance with our baptism, we make the confession of the creed, and our doxology in accordance with our creed Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, the monk should own nothing in this world, but he should have as his possessions solitude of the body, modesty of bearing, a modulated tone of voice, and a well-ordered manner of speech. He should be without anxiety as to his food and drink, and should eat in silence Picture Quote #1

It is impious to say that evil has its origin from God, because naught contrary is produced by the contrary. Life does not generate death, nor is darkness the beginning of light, nor is disease the maker of health, but in the changes of conditions there are transitions from one condition to the contrary Picture Quote #1

I reckon silence more profitable than speech, for? in the words of the Preacher, ‘The words of wise men are heard in quiet’ (Eccles. 9:17) Picture Quote #1

What is the benefit of fasting in our body while filling our souls with innumerable evils? He who does not play at dice, but spends his leisure otherwise, what nonsense does he not utter? What absurdities does he not listen to? Leisure without the fear of God is, for those who do not know how to use time, the teacher of wickedness Picture Quote #1

No Christian ought to think of himself as his own master, but each should rather so think and act as though given by God to be slave to his like minded brethren (cf. I Cor. 9:19)? Picture Quote #1

Liberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth Picture Quote #1

We men are easily prone to sins of thought. Therefore, He who has formed each heart individually, knowing that the impulse received from the intention constitutes the major element in sin, has ordained that purity in the ruling part of our soul be our primary concern Picture Quote #1

We should not think that we achieve success in preaching through our own devices, but we should rely entirely on God Picture Quote #1

Indulging in unrestrained and immoderate laughter is a sign of intemperance, of a want of control over one’s emotions, and of failure to repress the soul’s frivolity by a stern use of reason Picture Quote #1

Every divine action begins from the Father, proceeds through the Son, and is completed in the Holy Spirit Picture Quote #1

Strive to attain to the greater virtues, but do not neglect the lesser ones.

They who sow courtesy reap friendship, and they who plant kindness gather love Picture Quote #1

Drunkenness, the ruin of reason, the destruction of strength, premature old age, momentary death Picture Quote #1

A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward Picture Quote #1

Troubles are usually brooms and shovels that smooth the road to the good man’s fortune Picture Quote #1
