Now I wonder what difference it would make if I put in the wrong ratio.

Depending on which way you went, either better or worse gas mileage, either
better or worse acceleration - all the standard stuff that goes with
changing ratios.

the infinitely great, so that we lose
ourselves in them and no longer see virtues. We find fault with perfection
itself.

358. Man is neither angel nor brute, and the unfortunate thing is that he
who would act the angel acts the brute.

359. We do not sustain ourselves in virtue by our own strength, but by the
balancing of two opposed vices, just as we remain upright amidst two
contrary gales. Remove one of the vices, and we fall into the other.

360. What the Stoics propose is so difficult and foolish!

The Stoics lay down that all those who are not at the high degree of wisdom
are equally foolish and vicious, as those who are two inches under water.

361. The sovereign good. Dispute about the sovereign good.--Ut sis contentus

end they advise suicide. Oh! What a happy life, from which we are to free
ourselves as from the plague!
