Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.

It is requisite to choose the most excellent life; for custom will make it pleasant. Wealth is an infirm anchor, glory is still more infirm; and in a similar manner, the body, dominion, and honour. For all these are imbecile and powerless. What then are powerful anchors. Prudence, magnanimity, fortitude. These no tempest can shake. This is the Law of God, that virtue is the only thing that is strong; and that every thing else is a trifle.

Truth is so great a perfection, that if God would render himself visible to men, he would choose light for his body and truth for his soul.
