Exercise Your Soul
St Clement of Alexandria (c150-c215)
Father of the Church
“A well, when pumped regularly, produces purer water.
If neglected and no-one uses it, it changes into a source of pollution.
Use keeps metal brighter but disuse produces rust.
For, in a word, exercise produces a healthy condition, both in souls and bodies.
So “No-one lights a candle and puts it under a bushel but upon a candlestick that it may give light.”
For of what use is wisdom, if it fails to make those who hear it wise?” (Stromateis 1)
