| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Passionate Pilgrim by William Shakespeare: Her faith, her oaths, her tears, and all were jestings.
She burn'd with love, as straw with fire flameth;
She burn'd out love, as soon as straw outburneth;
She framed the love, and yet she foil'd the framing;
She bade love last, and yet she fell a-turning.
Was this a lover, or a lecher whether?
Bad in the best, though excellent in neither.

If music and sweet poetry agree,
As they must needs, the sister and the brother,

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Just Folks by Edgar A. Guest: And the joy of it stays, though the babies have flown.

And I pray when the. years shall have silvered our hair
We shall know the delights of that old-fashioned pair.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: cell are always much smaller, and they rise in much more rapid
succession than those from the other. Knowing that oxygen is
sixteen times heavier than hydrogen, I have more than once concluded,
and, I fear, led others into the error of concluding, that the smaller
and more quickly rising bubbles must belong to the lighter gas.
The thing appeared so obvious that I did not give myself the trouble
of looking at the battery, which would at once have told me the nature
of the gas. But Faraday would never have been satisfied with a
deduction if he could have reduced it to a fact. And he has taught
me that the fact here is the direct reverse of what I supposed it to
be. The small bubbles are oxygen, and their smallness is due to the
