One of the most well-known sayings comes from Abba Moses who, when asked for a word of wisdom by a brother, said "Go, sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything."
Swi tikomba onge Muxe u amukele nhlamulo ya makwavo, hikuva ndzimana leyi yi gimeta yi ku: "Loko Muxe a twa sweswo, swi n'wi enerisile ematihlweni yakwe."
