From the sayings of ABBA ISAIAH OF SCETIS about TOLERATING INSULTS AND TRIALS

“If someone says something harsh to you, do not raise your heart against him, but try to be reconciled with him before any blame arises in your heart against him, for anger arises very quickly.”

“If anyone accuses you of something, whether you did it or not, if you keep quiet, then you resemble Jesus’ nature; but if you argue saying, “What did I do?” then you act contrary to His nature.”
