No one dies so beloved that someone nearby won't feel relieved. Even if the person was truly good and wise, someone will think: 'Finally, I'm free of this teacher. He never bothered us much, but I always knew he judged us in his heart.' That's what they'll say about the virtuous person. As for us — there are so many reasons people would be glad to see us go.
There is not any man that is so happy in his death, but that some of those that are by him when he dies, will be ready to rejoice at his supposed calamity. Is it one that was virtuous and wise indeed? will there not some one or other be found, who thus will say to himself; 'Well now at last shall I be at rest from this pedagogue. He did not indeed otherwise trouble us much: but I know well enough that in his heart, he did much condemn us.' Thus will they speak of the virtuous. But as for us, alas I how many things be there, for which there be many that glad would be to be rid of us.
