“For the heart of the wise is always like itself, because, while it rests in good persuasions, it directs itself constantly in good performance. But the heart of the foolish is unlike, because, while it shews itself various through mutability, it never remains what it was.”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — The Book of Pastoral Rule, Part 3
