| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Duchess of Padua by Oscar Wilde: That treacherously stabbed your sleeping lord.
DUCHESS
I would, old Cardinal, I could burn that hand;
But it will burn hereafter.
CARDINAL
Nay, the Church
Ordains us to forgive our enemies.
DUCHESS
Forgiveness? what is that? I never got it.
They come at last: well, my Lord Justice, well.
[Enter the LORD JUSTICE.]

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King James Bible: things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall
bring it unto the altar.
LEV 2:9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial
thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
LEV 2:10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's
and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made
by fire.
LEV 2:11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be
made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any
offering of the LORD made by fire.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott: "Don't take all." whispered her neighbor, a young lady of great
presence of mind.
Amy hastily shook out half a dozen and laid the rest down before
Mr. Davis, feeling that any man possessing a human heart would relent
when that delicious perfume met his nose. Unfortunately, Mr. Davis
particularly detested the odor of the fashionable pickle, and disgust
added to his wrath.
"Is that all?"
"Not quite," stammered Amy.
"Bring the rest immediately."
With a despairing glance at her set, she obeyed.
