[size=150]A man may seem to be silent, but if his heart is condemning others, he is babbling ceaselessly. But there may be another who talks from morning till night and yet he is truly silent, that is, he says nothing that is not profitable.
Abba Pimen[/size]
[size=150]‘If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks.’
Abbot Zeno [/size]

Taking a shit is not an accomplishment.
Place of birth is not an accomplishment.
Genetic inheritance is not an accomplishment.
