Wisdom And Little Ones

Et sapientiam parvulis praestitereunt non utique superbis, nec tumida se elatione jactantibus, sed parvulis. Parvuli autem sunt humiles et innocentes, sicut Apostolus monet: Nolite pueri effici sensibus, sed malitia parvuli estote. Cassiodorus, Expositio In Psalterium, Psalmus XVIII Source: Migne PL 70.140c

'And giving wisdom to little ones,' 1 Not to the proud, not to those who boast, puffed up in their own elation, but to little ones. For little ones are humble and innocent, and as the Apostle exhorts, 'Do not be children in your minds, but be little ones in evil.' 2 Cassiodorus, Commentary On The Psalms, Psalm 18 1 Ps 18.8 2 1 Cor 14.20
