Virtue! a fig! 'tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills.
You can't help it? A lie! It's all up to you. Our bodies are like gardens, and our willpower is the gardener.We can have all sorts of different plants in the garden, but whether they grow well or not is up to our will.
