Nor cast one longing, lingring look behind. — Resolution

"Hast thou attempted greatnesse? Then go on; Back-turning slackens resolution."

"For when two Join in the same adventure, one perceives Before the other how they ought to act; While one alone, however prompt, resolves More tardily and with a weaker will."

"And hearts resolved and hands prepared The blessings they enjoy to guard."

"Videlicit, That each man swore to do his best To damn and perjure all the rest."

"What mockeries are our most firm resolves ! To will is ours, but not to execute. We map our future like some unknown coast, And say, "Here is an harbour, here a rock — The one we will attain, the other shun :" And we do neither."

"Be stirring as the time; be fire with fire; Threaten the threatner and outface the brow Of bragging horror: so shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviours from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution."
