Quotes on Orthodoxy / St. Anthony the Great

“Those who are inconstant and uninstructed should not argue with intelligent men.”

Those who are inconstant and uninstructed should not argue with intelligent men. An intelligent man is one who conforms to God and mostly keeps silent; when he speaks he says very little, and only what is necessary and acceptable to God.

St. Anthony the Great, the Philokalia
