• Tú y tus pertenencias
  No son tuyos tan propios, como para malgastar
  en tus virtudes y ellas en ti.
  El cielo hace con nosotros como nosotros con las antorchas,
  no las enciende para sí; porque si nuestras virtudes
  no salieran de nosotros, sería todo igual
  Como si no las tuviéramos. Los espíritus no se tocan finamente
  Sino a los asuntos finos; y la Naturaleza nunca presta
  el menor escrúpulo de su excelencia,
  Sino que, como una diosa ahorrativa, determina
  A sí misma la gloria de un acreedor -
  Tanto el agradecimiento como el uso.

  William Shakespeare

• The finest virtues can become deformed with age. The precise mind becomes finicky; the thrifty man, miserly; the cautious man, timorous; the man of imagination, fanciful. Even perseverance ends up in a sort of stupidity. Just as, on the other hand, being too willing to understand too many opinions, too diverse ways of seeing, constancy is lost and the mind goes astray in a restless fickleness.

  André Gide
