The truly intelligent soul

"The truly intelligent soul is not disturbed when he sees the success of
the wicked and the prosperity of the worthless. Unlike the stupid, he is
not deluded by the gratification enjoyed by such people in this life.
For he understands clearly the inconstancy of fortune, the uncertainty
and brevity of life, and the unbribability of the Judge; and he is
confidant that God will not fail to provide him with the nourishment he
needs."

St. Antony the Great.

"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that
they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized
that they had been with Jesus."  Acts 4:13

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
