Saint Basil
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.

There is nothing either good or bad...To me, I think people who don't think...Gold and silver, like other commodities...Our lives are not determined by what happens to us...When you please others in hopes of being accepted...Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind...
