And let me advise you, my child, that as we are all led into temptation, we must not think that because we have been in temptation we have sinned hopelessly; nor, if we have fought against the thing that tempts us, should we at once imagine that we have overcome it, and have done altogether right.

If there were no evil in ourselves, there could be no temptation from without, for nothing evil could seem pleasant.

But with you I cannot find that you have done any great wrong as yet.

You must take courage.

We are all in the world, and do what we may, we cannot disregard it.
