THE HAPPY
LIFE
The wise are not broken by bodily ills, nor
are they disturbed by misfortunes; but they remain happy even amid troubles.
Bodily adversities do not diminish the gift
of the happy life or take away anything from its sweetness.
For Life's happiness does not lie in bodily
pleasure, but in a conscience pure of every stain of sin and in a mind aware
that the good is also the pleasurable, even though it is harsh, and that the
shameful does not give delight, even though it is sweet.
St. Ambrose
