The First Key To Wisdom Is Assiduous

The Key To Wisdom Is This - Constant And Frequent Questioning, For By Doubting We Are Led To Question And By Questioning We Arrive At The Truth.

We Call An Intention Good Which Is Right In Itself, But The Action Is Good, Not Because It Contains Within It Some Good, But Because It Issues From A Good Intention.

The Beginning Of Wisdom Is Found In Doubting; By Doubting We Come To The Question, And By Seeking We May Come Upon The Truth.

Are You Not Moved To Tears And Bitter Compassion, When You Behold The Only Son Of God Seized By The Most Impious, Dragged Away, Mocked, Scourged, Buffeted, Spit Upon, Crowned With Thorns, Hung Upon The Infamous Cross Between Two Thieves, Finally In Such A Horrible And Execrable Manner Suffering Death, For Your Salvation And That Of The World?

In Comparing Your Sorrows With Mine, You May Discover That Yours Are In Truth Nought.. And So Shall You Come To Bear Them The More Easily Grateful That They Are Not Worse.
