  • Abba Isidore of Pelusium used to say:
    “A life without a word is more advantageous than a word without life;
    for the first, even in silence, is advantageous,
    while the second is a trouble-maker when it cries out,
    whereas if life and word run together they constitute the portrait of all philosophy.”
