- swift,
- pure,
- dutiful,
- pleasant,
- agreeable,
- strong,
- patient,
- faithful,
- prudent,
- long-suffering;
- manly,
- never seeking its own advantage
- wary,
- humble,
- upright;
- it is not soft,
- it is not unstable,
- it is not intent on empty trifles;
- sober,
- chaste,
- steadfast,
- keeping due watch on all the senses,
- submissive,
- obedient to those in authority,
- mean and contemptible in its own regard;
- To God it is always devout and thankful,
- ever trusting and hoping in Him even when it cannot taste His sweetness.
From Chapter 5 of the Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis.
