The body must be strong enough to obey the mind; a good servant must be
strong. I know that intemperance stimulates the passions; in course of
time it also destroys the body; fasting and penance often produce the
same results in an opposite way. The weaker the body, the more imperious
its demands; the stronger it is, the better it obeys. All sensual
passions find their home in effeminate bodies; the less satisfaction
they can get the keener their sting.
