One man received a thought and accepted it without examination. Another received a thought and tested its truth. Which of them acted with greater reverence?

Love is the last of the virtues to be born in the heart, but it is the first in value.

Ignorance makes us reject what is beneficial; and when it becomes brazen it strengthens the hold of evil.

Evils reinforce each other; so do virtues, thus encouraging us to still greater efforts.
