Zeal and duty are not slow But on occasion's forelock watchful wait.

John Milton
Image
He who tempts, though in vain, at last asperses The tempted with dishonor foul, supposed Not incorruptible of faith, not proof Against temptation.
John Milton
Image
He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
