"Seek to possess real virtue, not the appearance of it ; avoid all singularity in word and act, which often gives others a wrong idea of virtue, even making it appear ridiculous. Give to every duty its proper time and place, whether it relate to prayer, study or amusement. True virtues always command respect and esteem, while pretended ones are condemned and despised."
