“Promise me no promises,
So will I not promise you:
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true:
Let us hold the die uncast,
Free to come as free to go:
For I cannot know your past,
And of mine what can you know?”
― Christina Rossetti

“If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

“Every hero becomes a bore at last.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Representative Men: Seven Lectures

“It is our fate to give ourselves most lavishly
to those who'd rather not be burdened with the gift”
― Rodney Hall, The Owner of My Face: New & Selected Poems
