It is too true that I who write about the devout life am not myself devout, but most certainly I am not without the wish to become so, and it is this wish which encourages me to teach you. A notable literary man has said that a good way to learn is to study, a better to listen, and the best to teach. And St. Augustine, writing to the devout Flora, says that giving is a claim to receive and teaching a way to learn.
A beautiful quote from Bishop Francis de Sales of Geneva, a Roman Catholic saint who worked to bring Protestants back into the Church of Rome.
