scripture
Proverbs 13:13-16
He who scorns instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command is rewarded.
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly.
quote
As the Prophet says: “I am not weary, following thee” (Jeremiah 17:16). Who can be weary following Jesus? For he himself says: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” Let us, then, always follow Jesus and never falter, for if we follow him we never fail because he gives his strength to his followers. The nearer you are to this strength, the stronger you will be.
Ambrose of Milan
