For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from the eternal.
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
I wept not, so to stone within I grew.
These have not the hope to die.
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
In His will is our peace.
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.

The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is.
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
