"As chaste as is the bud ere..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, That will not be deep-searched with saucy looks: Small have continual plodders ever won, Save base authority from others' books.”

“That which is now a horse, even with a thought The rack dislimms, and makes it indistinct As water is in water”

“I and my bosom must debate awhile, and then I would no other company.”

“Chastity ... has, even now, a religious importance in a woman's life, and has so wrapped itself round with nerves and instincts that to cut it free and bring it to the light of day demands courage of the rarest.”

“The moon of Rome, chaste as the icicle that's curded by the frost from purest snow.”

“In Tibet there is no marriage, and there is no jealousy, yet we know that marriage is a much higher state. The Tibetans have not known the wonderful enjoyment, the blessing of chastity, the happiness of having a chaste, virtuous wife, or a chaste, virtuous husband. These people cannot feel that. And similarly they do not feel the intense jealousy of the chaste wife or husband, or the misery caused by unfaithfulness on either side, with all the heart-burnings and sorrows which believers in chastity experience. On one side, the latter gain happiness, but on the other, they suffer misery too.”

“The stream is always purer at its source.[Fr., Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.]”

“To a pure heart all hearts are pure.”

“A pure heart, open to the Light, will be filled with the elixir of Truth.”
