“
Kebajikan kita semakin berharga bagi kita, semakin kita harus menderita karenanya. Sama halnya dengan anak-anak kita. Semua kasih sayang yang dalam merupakan pengorbanan. Pikiran kita sering kali lebih buruk daripada kita, sama seperti sering kali lebih baik. Asli: Our virtues are dearer to us the more we have had to suffer for them. It is the same with our children. All profound affection entertains a sacrifice. Our thoughts are often worse than we are, just as they are often better.
