“What then, is correctness of speech but the maintenance of the practice of others, as established by the authority of ancient speakers? But the weaker men are, the more they are troubled by such matters. Their weakness stems from a desire to appear learned, not with a knowledge of things, by which we are edified, but with a knowledge of signs, by which it is difficult not to be puffed up in some way; even a knowledge of things often makes people boastful, unless their necks are held down by the Lord's yoke.”

Observe, without being thought an observer, for otherwise people will be upon their guard before you.”

“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity.There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity.There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.”

“His knowledge is not like ours, which has three tenses: present, past, and future. God's knowledge has no change or variation.”
