For what is expressed by the wind but the temptation of malignant spirits? And what are denoted by the clouds which are moved of the wind but the oppositions of bad men? The clouds, that is to say, are driven by the winds, because bad men are excited by the blasts of unclean spirits. He, then, that observeth the wind soweth not, and he that regardeth the clouds reapeth not, because whosoever fears the temptation of malignant spirits, whosoever the persecution of bad men, and does not sow the seed of good work now, neither doth he then reap handfuls of holy recompense.<br/><i>— The Book of Pastoral Rule, Part 3, Chapter XV</i></p><p><b>Isaac of Nineveh</b>: Let not much wisdom become a stumbling-block to your soul and a snare before you; but trusting in God, manfully make a beginning upon the way that is filled with blood, lest always you be found wanting and naked of knowledge of God.

[Cfr. Luc 6, 30.] Differently: he who proclaims the word of God<br/>at the time when the people listen freely and a second wind of rumour comes, he<br/>is a negligent and lazy farmer. But<br/>favourably or not in his career he must proclaim the word of God [Cfr II Tim. 4, 2.];<br/>and he must not think of the storm of adverse clouds in his time of faith. This is written in Proverbs: \"just as<br/>the rains are heavy and unyielding, so are they who leave wisdom and praise<br/>impiety\" [Prov. 28, 3.4.]. Therefore you must sow your seeds in the<br/>middle of a storm without thinking of the clouds and without fearing the<br/>winds.
