can, but publish it, so that the world may regard
you as a man of great virtue and treat you with
consideration and respect'
Fear of God answers:It is great folly to devote to
the acquisition of temporal renown that which
can obtain for you eternal glory. Endeavor to hide
your good actions, and if they appear in spite of
your efforts to conceal them it will not be
accounted vanity in you when you have no desire to display
them.
