Where There is Love and Wisdom

   Where there is love and wisdom
there is neither fear nor ignorance
   Where there is poverty and joy,
there is neither greed nor covetousness.
   Where there is quiet and meditation,
there is neither worry nor waste.
   Where there is compassion and discretion,
there is neither excess nor indifference.
   Where the fear of the Lord guards the door,
the enemy cannot enter.

-- Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)
