Rabanus Maurus, on Sir 10:26

“Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich.”

“Avoid boasting about one's own good works, for arrogance of this kind is an abomination before the eyes of God and stops one from doing good in adversity, "because tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope."”
