"Compel yourselves in silence, the mother of all godly virtues. Keep silent, in order to say the Prayer [of Jesus]; for, when someone speaks, how is he able to escape idle talk, from which comes every evil word, which weighs the soul down by the responsibility for it."
-Elder Ephraim of Philotheou Mount Athos, "Counsels from the Holy Mountain"
