reading the holy scriptures

A man fearing God diligently seeks His will in the Holy Scriptures. And lets he should love controversy, he is made gentle in piety. He is prepared with a knowledge of languages lets he be impeded by unknown words and locutions. He is also prepared with an acquaintance with certain necessary things lest he be unaware of their force and nature when they are used for purposes of similitudes.


Augustine
