The sweetness of the apple makes up for the bitterness of the root. The
hope of gain makes pleasant the perils of the sea. The expectation of health
mitigates the nauseousness of medicine. One who desires the kernel breaks the
nut. So one who desires the joy of a holy conscience swallows down the
bitterness of penance.
Saint Jerome
