Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

"How time and example may alter a man: he being now acquainted with all sorts of pleasures and vanities which heretofore he never thought of or loved, nor has allowed."
Samuel, you are a good man. You gladly share with us (*) how you take childlike pride in new posessions, and how you love indulging your interests; but you also know the importance of steering the ship, not letting it drift.
You understand the dangers and your aim is to manage them, not to taboo them. You are the pleasure-allowing Puritan, the pre-modern modern.
(*) Your diary entries are of course toots for us.
