The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger

There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart he does not feel for man.
William Cowper
