Rosmini for August V

Simplicity lies in love, prudence in thought. Love is simple, intelligence is prudent. Love prays, intelligence watches. Watch and pray: there you see prudence and simplicity reconciled. Love is like the moaning dove; the active intelligence is like the serpent that never falls or strikes against any obstacle, because it uses its head to feel its way along over the inequalities of the road.
