He who is chaste in flesh should not be proud, for he should know that he owes the gift of continence to another.

Let us teach the young in the school of the fear of the Lord.

Let us cleave... to those who cultivate peace with godliness, and not to those who hypocritically profess to desire it. For the Scripture says in a certain place (Mk. 7:6), 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts is far from Me.'

He who is chaste in flesh should not be proud, for he should know that he owes the gift of continence to another.

If any one say that he has seen a just man in want of bread, I answer that it was in some place where there was no other just man.

God hates those who praise themselves.

We should let God be the One to praise us and not praise ourselves. For God detests those who commend themselves. Let others applaud our good deeds.
