There are some who wish to be
humble, but without being despised, who wish to be happy with their lot, but
without being needy, who wish to be chaste, without mortifying the body, to be
patient without suffering. They want
both to acquire virtues and to avoid the sacrifices those virtues involve; they
are like soldiers who flee the battlefield and try to win the war from the
comfort of the city. - St. Gregory the Great
