To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
BERNARD It is not only a most hateful evil, but it is a radical evil. As all other lusts are found lodging in it, so they are found springing from it. It is a foul leprosy in face of morality, and a hurtful worm gnawing at the root of humility.
O Iftnowlefccje.
There are men who wish to learn merely that they may know, and such curiosity is blameable ; there are others who wish to learn for no other reason than that they may be looked upon as learned, which is a ridiculous vanity ; while others... again learn only that they may make merchan- dise of their knowledge, and that merchan- dise is ignoble. When then are all kinds of knowledge good and salutary ? They are good when they are put in practice ; and he is blameable who, having the knowledge of the good he ought to do, does not do it. S. BERNARD.
130 ttbe "UdaE to perfsb.
A man will justly perish, if, having the knowledge of the way of truth, he shall nevertheless not refrain himself from the way of darkness.
O JngratttuDe.
Ingratitude is a nail, which, driven into the tree of courtesy, causes it to wither ; it is a broken channel by which the founda- tions of the affections are undermined ; and a lump of soot, which, falling into the dish of friendship, destroys its scent and flavour.
