In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro.(Everywhere I have sought peace and not found it, except in a corner with a book.)

If you wish to draw profit, read with humility, simplicity, and faith, and never with the design of gaining a reputation for learning.

On the day of judgment, it will be demanded of us not what we have read, but what we have done.

Oh how swiftly the glory of the world passes away! If only the lives of these men had been as admirable as their learning, their study and reading would have been to good purpose! But how many in this world care little for the service of God, and perish in their vain learning. Because they choose to be great rather than humble, they perish in their own conceit.
