- It is said that gold rules everything; but spiritual things are ruled by the grace of God.
- A good conscience is found through prayer, and pure prayer through the conscience. Each by nature needs the other.
- Jacob made for Joseph a coat of many colors (cf Gen. 37:3), and the Lord gives knowledge of truth to the gentle; as it is written, 'He will teach the gentle His ways' (Ps. 25:9. LXX).
- Always do as much good as you can, and at a time of greater good do not turn to a lesser. For it is said that no man who turns back 'is fit for the kingdom of heaven' (cf. Luke 9:62).

- Peace is deliverance from the passions, and is not found except through the action of the Holy Spirit.
- Fulfilling a commandment is one thing, and virtue is another, although each promotes the other.
- Fulfilling a commandment means doing what we are enjoined to do; but virtue is to do it in a manner that conforms to the trath.
- All material wealth is the same, but is acquired in many different ways; similarly, virtue is one, but is many- sided in its operations.
- If someone makes a display of wisdom and instead of applying it talks at length, he has a spurious wealth and his labors 'come into the houses of strangers' (Prov. 5:10. LXX).
