OF VIRTUE AND VICE

By the Same Hand.

As our clothing does not impart heat to our bodies, so ample

possessions cannot make us happy, 482. Virtue can make any condition

in life pleasant and delightful, 483. A man’s vices inflict on him

misery which he cannot avoid, 483. They allow him no rest, day or

night, 484. Worldly abundance only aggravates the disorders of the

mind, 484. Virtue makes a man happy anywhere, 485.
