Not many should become
teachers, my brothers, knowing
that we will receive a stricter
judgment; for we all stumble in

stumble in what he says, he is a
mature man who is also able to

consider ships: though very large

guided by a very small rudder
wherever the will of the pilot
directs. So too, though the tongue

great things. Consider how large a
forest a small fire ignites. And the
tongue is a fire. The tongue, a
