Wisdom, if it were young, would cherish love, nursing it with devotion, deepening it with sacrifice, vitalizing with parentage, making all things subordinate to it till the end. Even though it consumes us in its service and overwhelms us with tragedy, even though it breaks us down with separations, let it be first. How can it matter what price we pay for love?

تنظم الأخلاق في شكلٍ ثلاثي , يكون الطرفان الأول والأخير فيهما تطرف ورذيلة والوسط فضل أو فضيلة , وهكذا يكون بين التهور والجبن فضيلة الشجاعة , وبين الكسل والجشع فضيلة الطموح , وبين البخل والإسراف فضيلة الكرم , و بين الكتمان والثرثرة فضيلة الأمانة, وبين الكآبة المزاح فضيلة البشاشة , وبين محبة الخصام والتملق فضيلة الصداقة
