| Chapter 4 : the two types of men 01 As to the heated man in the temple, 02 he is like a tree growing {indoors}, (only) 03 a moment lasts its growth of {shoots}, (and) 04 its end comes about in the {woodshed}, (or) 05 it is floated far from its place, 06 the flame is its burial shroud. 07 The truly silent, who keeps apart, 08 he is like a tree grown in a meadow. 09 it greens, it doubles its yield, 10 it stands in front of its Lord, 11 its fruit is sweet, its shade delightful, 12 its end is reached in the garden. |

| I hear many cry when deplorable excesses happen, "Would there be no barley-wine!" Oh, folly! Oh, madness! Is it the ale that causes this abuse? No. It is the intemperance of those who take evil delight in it. Cry rather, "Would to God there were no drunkenness, no luxury." |
| ~John Chrysostom, Greek Saint, 2nd Century ~ |
