Whatever anyone does or says, you must be good. Not for their sake, but because it's your nature. It's like gold or an emerald or purple saying to itself: 'Whatever anyone does or says, I must still be an emerald. I must keep my color.'
Whatsoever any man either doth or saith, thou must be good; not for any man's sake, but for thine own nature's sake; as if either gold, or the emerald, or purple, should ever be saying to themselves, Whatsoever any man either doth or saith, I must still be an emerald, and I must keep my colour.
