Ability in means, and choice of friends,
To quit me of them throughly.

A door that seems to stand open must be of a man's size, or it is not the door that providence means for him.
If a door is shut, attempts should be made to open it; if it is ajar, it should be pushed until it is wide open. In neither case should the door be blown up at the expense of those inside.
