St. Theodore of Edessa


Wine makes glad the heart of man’ (Ps. 104:15). But you who have
professed sorrow and grief should turn away from such gladness and
rejoice in spiritual gifts. If you rejoice in wine, you will live
with shameful thoughts and distress will overwhelm you.

    I like this a lot for a variety of reasons. Mostly because it starts with a bible quote, which is very rare for the desert fathers.
