He that knoweth himself well is lowly in his own sight and hath no delight in man’s praises.
If I knew all things that are in the world and had not charity, what should that help me before God who shall judge me according to my deeds?
Unwise is he that more attendeth to other things than to the health of his soul.
Many words fill not the soul; but a good life refresheth the mind and a pure conscience giveth a great confidence in God.
The more thou canst do and the better that thou canst do, the more grievously thou shalt be judged unless thou live holily.
Think not highly of thyself but rather acknowledge thine ignorance.
If thou wilt learn and know anything profitably, love to be unknown and to be accounted as of little worth.
OF THE TEACHING OF TRUTH
Blissful is he whom truth itself teacheth, not by figures or voices, but as it is.
What availeth great searching of dark and hidden things for the which we shall not be blamed in the judgment though we know them not?
