“For
He says, 'Take no anxious thought for tomorrow,' meaning that the man
who has devoted himself to Christ ought to be sufficient to himself,
and servant to himself, and moreover lead a life which provides for
each day by itself. For it is not in war, but in peace, that we are
trained. War needs great preparation, and luxury craves profusion;
but peace and love, simple and quiet sisters, require no arms nor
excessive preparation. The Word is their sustenance.” Clement of
Alexandria, The Instructor, 1:12, ANF 2:234-235
