Mutual proportion is the basis of solidarity. Small‑mindedness is the source of arrogance. Pusillanimity is the mine of pride. Impotence is the source of opposition. Curiosity is the teacher of knowledge.
Need is the master of progress. Distress is the teacher of dissipation. Thus, the source of dissipation is distress. As for distress, its mine is despair and pessimism.
