An open treasury is quickly spent
Syncletica said, “An open treasury is quickly spent; any virtue will be lost if it is published abroad and is known about everywhere. If you put wax in front of a fire it melts; and if you pour vain praises on the soul it goes soft and weak in seeking goodness”
– De vitis Patrum, Sive Verba Seniorum, Liber V
I love this one David. Very beautiful.
Syncletica is my favourite Amma 🙂
I dont have much experience but a few more like this and I’m likely to agree with you! Plus, I trust your judgement on this sort of thing 🙂
