Letter 856: The spiritual life is a journey with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Περὶ τῆς ὃν ταῖς δημηγορίαις παῤῥησίας τοὺ Παύ,λου. Λίαν θαυμάζω τοῦ ἀοιδίμου Παύλου τὴν ἀνδρίαν, πῶς χαὶ χρινόμενος ἐδημηγόρει, χαὶ εὐθύνας ἀπαι- τούμενος ἐδίδασχε. Διδασχάλου μὲν γάρ ἔστι τὸ μετ᾽ ἐξουσία; λέγειν, χρινομένου δὲ τὸ μετρεῖν τῷ καιρῷ τοὺς λόγους. ᾿Αλλ᾽ οὗτος εἰς τοὐναντίον ἐχώρει" εἶχε γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτῷ τὸν τῆς σοφίας χορηγόν τε καὶ πρύτανιν.
