John of Salisbury

“Just as the soul animates the body, so, in a way, meaning breathes life into a word.”

“Seeking is a necessary preliminary to finding, and one who cannot endure the hardship of inquiry cannot expect to harvest the fruit of knowledge.”

“The only sure road to truth is humility.”

“One who comprehends truth is wise, one who loves it good, one who orders his life in accordance with it happy.”
