SOMETIMES when we have been overcome by pride or impatience, and we
want to improve our rough and bearish manners, we complain that we require
solitude, as if we should find the virtue of patience there where nobody
provokes us: and we apologize for our carelessness, and say that the reason
of our disturbance does not spring from our own impatience, but from the
fault of our brethren. And while we lay the blame of our fault on others,
we shall never be able to reach the goal of patience and perfection.
