Imitation of Christ

Quid prodest tibi alta de Trinitate disputare, si careas humilitate unde displiceas Trinitati? Vere alta verba non faciunt sanctum et justum, sed virtuosa vita efficit Deo carum.

What does it profit you to speak learnedly about the Holy Trinity, if you lack humility, and are thus displeasing to the Trinity? For truly it is not deep words that make a man holy and just; it is a good life which makes a man dear to God.

Imitation of Christ, I, 1:3
