Walker Evans
If someone puts to you the question 'How is the name Antonius spelt?', will you shout your way through each of the syllables. What then if they get angry? Will you lose your temper too? Will you not rather calmly go through the sequence of letters, telling each one in turn? So also in your life here remember that every duty is the completed sum of certain actions. You must observe these, without being disconcerted or answering other's resentment with your own, but following each purpose methodically to its end.
