It is this unquiet self-love that renders us so sensitive. the sick man, who sleeps ill, thinks the night long. we exaggerate, from cowardice, all the evils which we encounter; they are great, but our sensibility increases them. the true way to bear them is to yield ourselves up with confidence to god.
