3.262.

The young must accustom himself to the quietness of bodily movements, to decorum in clothing, to moderation and decorum in the voice, to the serene eating and drinking of food and drink and in scarcity, to silence before the elders, to attentive listening in the presence of the wisest, to the love of equals, to the readiness to give advice with love to the younger, to distance oneself from people who are bad, carnal and interfere in their own business.

And having succeeded, he must accustom himself to seek praise only from God. And if he becomes capable of teaching and benefiting others, let him do this for the sake of the reward that is set aside from God, as a work which he is obliged to do before God, and which is rewarded by God with eternal gifts.

About where the toast "Be healthy!" came from

2.299. Scholasticus Cleonicus.

Others say that when wine was invented after the flood, some, having drunk too much whole wine, died. Wherefore others, having found it best to drink in moderation, and moreover wine dissolved with water, and having consumed such drink, remained alive. But those who had not yet drunk the moisture of the grapes, out of fear of death, asked those who had already drunk whether they were alive. And since they answered: "Yes, they are alive," then, rejoicing, each of the surviving relatives of their relatives said: "Alive! For this reason, from that time to the present day, the custom has been preserved to say to drinkers: "Be healthy." This I have said in answer to your question.

On Serving Masters

2.238. Papiska Oskorodoulis.

All those servants who sincerely serve their masters according to the flesh will receive recompense from God. Those who are negligent, careless, arrogant, and lazy to serve as they should, without receiving any benefits from God, will still be punished.

About the Blasphemers

2.185. To Deacon Zeno.

Nothing puts to shame those who attack and reproach so much as the correction of those who are reproached with meekness and modesty. For such a beautiful change in those who are reproached is a disgrace to those who reproach.
