Put your student in his age right from the start and keep it there.Then he will no longer try to outdo his place, and then, before he knows what virtue is, begins to practice the main lessons.Don't give him orders, not even once.Let him understand early on that on his haughty neck Nature imposes upon us all a heavy yoke, which is necessary, and that every finite life must bend under its weight.Let him know from the necessity of things, not from the whims of human beings, and let him know that boundaries are the power of nature, not the authority of human beings.So that even if he can't get what he wants, he can resign himself to fate and be calm, because human nature is to tolerate the laws of things, but not the malice of others.
