Indeed, good is not good if one does not suffer in doing it.

Remember, Monsieur, that Saint Augustine says that a person who does not obey the doctors is doing his best to kill himself.
Vincent de Paul
Image
There is nothing good that does not meet with opposition, and it should not be valued any less because it encounters objections.
Vincent de Paul
