"No
poison is more fatal to youth than bad literature. More than ever today,
[bad] books are to be feared because of their abundance and disguise.
If you value your soul, do not read them unless you have your confessor’s
approval or the advice of other learned, pious persons. I repeat – learned
and pious."
"[Regarding reading newspapers] Such reading takes up a good deal
of time which could be better spent on more important matter. Besides,
it diverts the mind to many useless things, which may harm one, and it
arouses political spirits."
"Get a small notebook and write your little secrets in it – suggestions
from your director or teacher, impressions from sermons, examples which
are more easily imitable, and important maxims from books that have been
read aloud in the dining room, dormitory, or church. By this, I mean you
will sooner have a rich store of honey, that is to say, of worthwhile
knowledge, good works, and holy joy stemming from the peace within your
heart."
