A certain Abba asked Abba Muthues, saying, ' If I go to a place to dwell, how would you have me conduct myself? ' The old man said to him, ' If you wish to dwell in a certain place, [do so,] but do not let go forth concerning yourself any fame for praiseworthy acts, [or say,] I do not eat,' or, do not drink,' for such things only produce empty fame; and you will find at length that you will profit from many, for men will go where they can find qualities of this kind.' Then the brother said to him, ' What will I do?' and the old man said to him, ' Wheresoever you dwell conduct yourself in a simple manner like every one else, and what you see those who fear God do, [I mean] those in whom you hast confidence, that do also, and you will be at ease. For to be as all other men are is true humility, and the men who see that you are like to all other men will regard you as they regard every one else, and you will not be troubled.'
