“Earn your living with the honest sweat of your brow. Don’t forget to give alms. This is the path you must tread. Always think of what good thing you will do. These are the things that make up the life of a Christian.”

“Neither should wealth impress you, nor honour, but always walk justly. Eat your bread with your honourable sweat and not through unjust means. The things you gain honourably, do not squander aimlessly. Live honourably and humbly, and as much as possible extend your hands in almsgiving.”
