January 21st
Book One, Chapter 21
Of Compunction of Heart

Through levity of heart and neglect of our defects we feel not the sorrows of the soul; and we often vainly laugh when in all reason we should weep.  There is no true liberty nor profitable joy but in the fear of God with a good conscience.  Happy is the man that can cast away all the hindrance of distraction, and recollect himself in the unity of holy compunction.
