For no one hates or runs away from pleasure itself because it is pleasure, but because great pains result from them, they do not know how to follow pleasure by reason of their nerves, and the pain itself because it is pain is love.

But being repulsed at certain times, either by duties due or by the necessities of things, it will often happen that both wishes are to be rejected, and inconveniences not to be refused occur, either with labor and pain, some great or small pardon, or any exercise of ours.
