If someone puts his trust in God in a matter, let him not argue with his brother about it.

It is better to pray with good will for our neighbor, rather than to denounce him for every sin.

Guard your mind from self-praise and flee a high opinion of yourself, so that God does not allow you to fall into the opposite passion to the virtue for which you boast, for man does not accomplish virtue alone, but with the help of God who sees all.

He who seeks forgiveness of his sins loves humility, but if he condemns another he seals his own wickedness.

When the mind forgets the purpose of Christian life, then even the clear fulfillment of virtue becomes profitless.

Do not desire to hear about the misfortunes of those who oppose you. For those who listen to such speech later reap the fruits of their evil intention.

God values deeds according to their intentions. For it is said, "The Lord grant unto you according to your heart" (Ps. 19:5) ... Therefore, whoever wants to do something but can't is considered as having done it by God, who sees the intentions of our hearts. This applies to both good and evil deeds alike.
