Water poured into an unbaked pitchers gradually becomes less and less and finally disappears altogether. If kept, however, in a baked vessel, it remains without its quantity being decreased. Similarly, acts done without thought with the help of the understanding do not become wholesome; while acts done with judgement remain with unmitigated excellence and produce happiness as their result. If into a vessel containing water other water be poured, the original water increases in quantity; so all acts done with judgement, be they just or otherwise, only increase one's stock of virtue.
