Additional quotes by Alcuin

Quapropter potius animam curare memento, quam carnem, quoniam haec manet, illa perit

I, your Flaccus, am busy carrying out your wishes and instructions at St. Martin's, giving some the honey of the holy scriptures, making others drunk on the old wine of ancient learning.

Therefore remember to care rather for the soul than the flesh, for this remains and that perishes.
