It is, therefore, a great source of virtue for the practised mind to learn, bit by bit, first to change [relative to] invisible and transitory things, so that afterwards it may be able to leave them behind altogether. The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is as his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is as a foreign land.
