 "Even though Pamela was so educated and so smart, she didn't feel the need to show it off. Instead of boasting about her intelligence, it was more important to her that she "let her adorning be the person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in GOD's sight is very precious" (1st Peter 3:4)."
