What a sea Of melting ice I walk on!
He That kills himself to avoid misery, fears it, And, at the best, shows but a bastard valour. This life's a fort committed to my trust, Which I must not yield up till it be forc'd. —Nor will I. He's not valiant that dares die,
Death hath a thousand doors to let out life.
The good needs fear no law, It is his safety and the bad man's awe.
Virtue, if not in action, is a vice, And, when we move not forward, we go backward.
Be wise; Soar not too high, to fall; but stoop to rise.
