| Πολλοὺς ἔγωγε οἴδα μὴ δυνηθέντας γνωσθῆναι διὰ κατορθωμάτων, διὰ φαυλότητος μᾶλλον καὶ ἄκρας πονηρίας ἐπισήμους δειχθέντας καὶ φοβερούς. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΡΛΓ' Θεοδοσιῳ |
I at least have known many who, not being capable of understanding correction, are rather through depravity and the depths of wickedness famed and feared. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 133, To Theodosius |
