| Ἡ τῶν ἀρετῶν μέθοδος τὴν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς μακαριότητα προξενεῖ, τὴν οὔτε λόγῳ ῥητὴν, οὕτε νῷ ληπτὴν, οὔτε ἐννοίᾳ χωρητήν. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΡΟΖ' Λιμενιῳ Μονακῳ Source: Migne PG 79.152b |
The right disposition of the virtues is that which supplies beatitude in heaven, which neither speech can express, nor the mind comprehend, nor is thought able to grasp it. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 177, to Limenius the Monk |
