Greet it as pure joy, my brothers, when you come across any sort of trial,

Where do conflicts, where do wrangles come from, in your midst? Is it not from these passions of yours that war among your members?

Come now, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we are going to such and such a city; we shall spend a year there trading and making money" ??14 you who know nothing about to-morrow! For what is your life? You are but a mist, which appears for a little and then vanishes.

Come now, you rich men, weep and shriek over your impending miseries!
