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

Blessed stillness gives birth to blessed children: self-control, love and pure prayer.

Stillness mortifies the outward senses and resurrects the inward movements, whereas agitation does the opposite, that is, it resurrects the outward senses and deadens the inward movements.

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

Love of God proceeds from conversing with him; this conversation of prayer comes about through stillness, and stillness comes with the stripping away of the self.

The person who is unaffected by the things of this world loves stillness; and he who loves no human thing loves all men.

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

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