Quotes by Bartholomew of San ConcordioPoverty wants few things, avarice everything. In a friends company everything is finer and more delightful, and every evil is smaller and less annoying. Doubtful circumstances disclose undoubted friends. The soul of man is nourished by learning, as the body is by food. he beginning of amendment is the recognition of the fault. A womans tears add a spice to her malice. The high-spirited horse is controlled with the shadow of the whip, while the slug can hardly be made to move with the spurs. It is not right that any one should be advocate and judge in the same case. Any plan is bad which is not susceptible of change. There are many who fear disgrace, few who fear conscience. |
