In his own words on Ecclesiastes

• Ecclesiastes 9:8

  The Holy Spirit actually teaches us not to put things off from day to day but to do to our soul all the good that is possible. [This we do] to adorn it with every virtue worthy of heaven, so as to clothe it with brilliant vestments according to this agreeable voice: "Let your clothes be brilliant at all times; let your head not lack in oil."

  INSTRUCTIONS 4:1

• Ecclesiastes 10:19

  Let each one do his work without chatting or shouting. Let absolutely no one laugh, so that there will not apply to us the reproach of the Scriptures, "They make bread for laughter." If someone needs to ask his neighbor a question, he must do so quietly, without shouting.
