Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go. John 21:18
If you love truth, be a lover of silence…it brings you a fruit that tongues cannot describe…In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent.

Isaac of Nineveh
