Zeal without knowledge is always less

June 25, 2011

Zeal without knowledge is always less effective, less useful. Often it is found to be very harmful. Wherever zeal is most fervent and the spirit most vehement, there the need for knowledge’s oversight is all the greater. Knowledge restrains zeal, tempers the spirit, orders charity.

-  Bernard of Clairvaux
