"You love all your enemies, and you love them very tenderly, with the exception of only one; and you willingly forgive that one there all the evil he has done to you, with the exception of one sole insult; and still you do not intend to take other revenge for it, if only that you would make for hum a little less good and fewer signs of esteem than before. If you are in this disposition, you have no Christian charity, no love for your neighbor. The authentic virtues are limited neither to certain times, nor to certain actions, nor to certain particular subjects. The one who possesses them is disposed to practice them in all things, in all encounters, with regard to all kinds of people, and in all ways."
