To Know That Which Lies Before Us

He Who Tempts, Though In Vain, At Last Asperses The Tempted With Dishonor Foul, Supposed Not Incorruptible Of Faith, Not Proof Against Temptation.

What Boots It At One Gate To Make Defence, And At Another To Let In The Foe?

Ah, Why Should All Mankind For One Man's Fault, Be Condemned, If Guiltless?

I See Thou Art Implacable, More Deaf To Pray'rs Than Winds And Seas. Yet Winds To Seas Are Reconcil'd At Length, And Sea To Shore: Thy Anger, Unappeasable, Still Rages Eternal Tempest Never To Be Calm'd.

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining.
