Don't give in to every common impulse
Don't give in to every common impulse
The great do not yield to every sort of passing thought. Part of prudence lies in reflecting about yourself : knowing or foreseeing your disposition, and moving towards the other extreme in order to balance art and nature. Self-correction begins with self-knowledge. There are monsters of impertinence who are always ruled by a certain humor, and their emotions vary accordingly. Tossed about by this vile imbalance, they go about their business in a self-contradictory way. Not only does this excess ruin their will, it also attacks their judgment, trouble their desire and understanding.
