The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.
Disobedient parents are a great trouble to their children.
Innocence: I am only stepping on your face because it lies in my path.
My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.
My regimen is lust and avarice for exercise, gluttony and sloth for relaxation.
A blocked path also offers guidance.
