Holy Scripture
Tobit 1:10
A church father on this verse
“This is a lesson that ought to be taught in youth and never abandoned. Whence in Ecclesiasticus: "Keep the fear of the Lord and grow old therein." And in Tobias it is said that Tobias begot a son, "whom from his infancy he taught to fear God." This lesson, therefore, is for all.”
