S. AUGUST. Ser. 15 de Verb. Apost.

Be alwayes displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attaine to what thou art not: For where thou hast pleas'd thy selfe, there thou abidest: But if thou sayest, I have enough, thou perishest: Alwayes add, alwayes walke, alwayes proceed; neither stand still, nor go backe, nor deviate: He that stands still, proceeds not; He goes back, that continues not: He deviates, that revolts: He goes better that creepes, in his way, than he that runs, out of his way.
