Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
Thomas a KempisIt is better to have but little knowledge with humility and understanding, than great learning which might make you proud. For a person's merits are not to be estimated by having many visions, or by knowledge of the bible, or by being placed in a higher position; but by being grounded in true humility, and by seeking always, purely, and entirely, the honor of God.
Thomas a Kempis
