How many burdens have been carried over many years without knowing it, sometimes even by ending by loving its executioners and the causes of its misfortunes! It was s necessary to reflect on it, for time might fail me, and I should choose, without deceiving myself, what I could correct, select what I had the most desire to throw overboard.
