The Way of Correction

"Be assured that abuses are not done away with by harsh or severe or
autocratic measures, but by teaching rather than by commanding, by
persuasion rather than by threats. This is the way to deal with the
people in general, reserving severity for the sins of the few.
If we make threats, let it be done sorrowfully, in the words of
Scripture, and in the terms of the world to come. In this way, it is
not we who are feared because of our power, but God because of our
words."
--St. Augustine: Letter 22, 5

Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They should be
segregated because they are the cause of unholy erections in holy men." -
Saint Augustine (354-430)
