'''Asceticism''': "The soft life makes people useless. Without toil and struggle sanctification won't come." -- in ''Precious Vessels of the Holy Spirit'', p.139
'''Ecclesiology''': "Unfortunately, in our days, there are many people who upset the mother Church. Of these, those that are educated have understood dogma with their minds and not with the spirit of the [[Holy Fathers]]. At the same time, those who are unlettered have grabbed hold of [[dogma ]] with their teeth, which is why they grind their teeth when they speak about ecclesiastical topics. In this way, greater harm is caused by those in the Church than by those who battle it from without." -- in ''Precious Vessels of the Holy Spirit'', p.131
'''Education''': "One word of a humble and (spiritually) experienced man that is painfully born from the depths of his heart has greater worth than a bunch of clever sayings of an external man that come out quickly from his educated mouth. His words don't speak truth to the souls of men, for they are fleshly words and not the flames of the fire of [[Pentecost]]." -- in ''Precious Vessels of the Holy Spirit'', p.134
