WE must note too the fact that the nature of the weak is always such
that they are quick and ready to offer reproaches and sow the seeds of
quarrels, while they themselves cannot bear to be touched by the shadow of
the very slightest wrong, and while they are riding roughshod over us and
flinging about wanton charges, they are not able to bear even the slightest
and most trivial ones themselves. And so according to the aforesaid opinion
of the Elders love cannot last firm and unbroken except among men of the
same purpose and goodness. For at some time or other it is sure to be
broken, however carefully it may be guarded by one of them.
