"Abba Isidore of Pelusium said: 'A virtuous life without verbal teaching instructs more than teaching by word that is not matched by life: life edifies even in silence, while a word without life, however powerfully and brilliantly delivered, only burdens the listeners. But when word and life are joined together, they become the crown of wisdom.'"
