Alexander William Mair Quote

Evil one may attain easily and in abundance: smooth is the way and it dewlleth very nigh. But in front of virtue have the dealthless gods set sweat: long is the way thereto and steep and rough at first. But when one hath reached the top, easy is it thereafter despite its hardness.
