"When our thoughts are born, Though they be good and humble, one should mind How they are reared, or some will go astray And shame their mother."

Previous Quote

Thy ignorance in unrevealed mysteries is the mother of a saving faith, and thy understanding in revealed truths is the mother of a sacred knowledge; understand not therefore that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand; understanding is the wages of a lively faith and faith is the reward of an humble ignorance.

— Francis Quarles
