“St. Augustine says that whoever does not shun dangerous occasions will soon fall into a precipice… The example of the unhappy Solomon should make us all tremble. At first he was most dear to God, and even inspired of the Holy Ghost, but by the love of strange women he was in his old age led into idolatry. Nor should his fall be a subject of wonder; for, as St. Cyprian says, to stand in the midst of flames and not to burn is impossible.”
St. Alphonsus
