Well Doing, The Duty Or: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Heaven doth with us, as we with torches do; Not light them for themselves: for if our virtues. Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not. Spirits are not finely touch'd, But to fine issues: nor nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence, But, like a thrifty goddess, she determines Herself the glory of a creditor, Both thanks and use.— M. M. 1. 1
