All places that the eye of heaven visits are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus; there is no virtue like necessity.

Context

“Will but remember me what a deal of world I wander from the jewels that I love. Must I not serve a long apprenticehood To foreign passages; and in the end, Having my freedom, boast of nothing else But that I was a journeyman to grief? GAUNT. All places that the eye of heaven visits
Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus:
There is no virtue like necessity. Think not the King did banish thee, But thou the King. Woe doth the heavier sit
Where it perceives it is but faintly home. Go, say I sent thee forth to purchase honour,” source
