A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

What health and sickness are to the body, virtue and wickedness are to the soul, and knowledge and ignorance to the intellect.

Control the tongue, so that it will not utter empty words. Whoever preserves his tongue, preserves his soul from grief.

The beginning of evil is heedlessness.

Nothing causes a man to sin so often as his tongue.

One who is capable of seeing himself is better than one who has been made worthy to see angels.

Self-knowledge is a true idea of one's spiritual growth, and an unbroken remembrance of one's slightest sins.

Nothing is better than to realize one's weakness and ignorance, and nothing is worse than not to be aware of them.
