| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: of God, unto our fathers:
ACT 26:7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God
day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am
accused of the Jews.
ACT 26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
should raise the dead?
ACT 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
ACT 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints
did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief
priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Ancient Regime by Charles Kingsley: organise, and without which no nation has yet existed for a single
century. They are no more like the old French noblesse, than are
the commercial class like the old French bourgeoisie, or the
labouring like the old French peasantry. Let them prove that fact
by their deeds during the next generation; or sink into the
condition of mere rich men, exciting, by their luxury and laziness,
nothing but envy and contempt.
Meanwhile, behind all classes and social forces--I had almost said,
above them all--stands a fourth estate, which will, ultimately,
decide the form which English society is to take: a Press as
different from the literary class of the Ancien Regime as is

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Phoenix and the Turtle by William Shakespeare: Distance, and no space was seen
'Twixt the turtle and his queen;
But in them it were a wonder.
So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight:
Either was the other's mine.
Property was thus appall'd,
That the self was not the same;
Single nature's double name
Neither two nor one was call'd.
