"Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood."

From these co-citizens we on earth are estranged. In this exile we sigh; in the city we shall have joy."
