He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.

He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.

But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.

I have sought for happiness everywhere, but I have found it nowhere except in a little corner with a little book.

Forasmuch as many people study more to have knowledge than to live well therefore ofttimes they err and bring forth little fruit or none.
