The Ruin of the Soul

Saint Wolfgang and the Devil by Michael Pacher).Image via Wikipedia

Francois Rabelais – 1494-1553

A French Renaissance writer, a Franciscan monk, and a doctor of medicine.

Coin is the sinews of war.

How shall I be able to rule over others, that have not full power and command of myself.

Wisdom entereth not into a malicious mind, and science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul.

Subject to a kind of disease, which at that time they called lack of money.

He that has patience may compass anything.

Speak the truth and shame the Devil.
