It
is too true that I who write about the devout life am not myself
devout, but most certainly I am not without the wish to become so, and
it is this wish which encourages me to teach you. A notable literary man
has said that a good way to learn is to study, a better to listen, and
the best to teach. And Saint Augustine, writing to the devout Flora,
says, that giving is a claim to receive, and teaching a way to learn.
St. Francis de Sales, the Patron Saint of Writers.
