More From Saint Francis De Sales

A man's interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. when you are a child your vessel is not yet full;so you care for nothing but your own affairs. when you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. in old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.

At genoa, the word liberty may be read over the front of the prisons and on the chains of the galley-slaves. this application of the device is good and just. it is indeed only malefactors of all estates who prevent the citizen from being free. in the country in which all such men were in the galleys, the most perfect liberty would be enjoyed.
