Beza's Motto

 

From X Post:

The motto of Protestant father Theodore Beza (1519-1605):

Plus à me frapper on s'amuse, tant plus de marteaux on y use ("The more one amuses oneself striking me, the more hammers one wears out on it").

    I assume the anvil ("me" in the English) refers to the Scriptures, or do you think he was speaking of himself?
