Judgement And Peace

Ὁ αὐτὸς ὅτε ἔβλεπε πρᾶγμα, καὶ ἤλθεν ὁ λογισμὸς αὐτοῦ κρῖναι, ἔλεγεν ἑαυτᾡ· Ἀγάθων, μὴ ποιήσῃς αὐτὸ σύ. Καὶ οὖτος ὁ λογισμὸς αὐτοῦ ἡσύχαζεν.

Ἀποφθέγματα Ἀγίων Γερόντων, Παλλάδιος Γαλατίας

Source: Migne PG 65.113c
When father Agathon saw a deed and his mind inclined to judgement, he would say to himself, 'Agathon, do not do it.' And so his mind had peace.
