““The wisdom of able men will understand the paths of wisdom, but the folly of fools goes in the wrong direction.””

What the Early Church wrote about Proverbs 14 (1)

  • “And he who fears this-that is, falling into evils-fears and dreads those evils. And he who fears a fall, wishes himself to be free of corruption and perturbation. "The wise man, fearing, avoids evil: but the foolish, trusting, mixes himself with it," says the Scripture.”
