Nu te prici la vorbe ?i nu te b?ga în certuri; las?-l pe cel?lalt s? aib? dreptate. Nu-?i impune niciodat? voia ta mai presus de a celuilalt. Astfel se deprinde greul me?te?ug al ascult?rii, ?i prin aceasta al smereniei. C?ci smerenia ne este de cea mai mare trebuin??.

O dat? ce am început, nu trebuie s? încet?m a face lucruri vrednice de poc?in?? (Fapte Apostoli XXVI, 20). Odihna este totuna cu darea înapoi.
