       Discontent spoils joy.
          Anxious thought spoils peace.
             Impatience spoils patience.
                Bitter words spoil kindness.
                   Indolence spoils goodness.
                      Doubt spoils faith.
                        Pride spoils gentleness.
                            Love of pleasure spoils self-control.
