    What point of morals, of manners, of economy, of philosophy, of
    religion, of taste, of the conduct of life, has he not settled?
    What mystery has he not signified his knowledge of? What office,
    or function, or district of man's work, has he not remembered?
    What king has he not taught state, as Talma taught Napoleon?
    What maiden has not found him finer than her delicacy? What
    lover has he not outloved? What sage has he not outseen? What
    gentleman has he not instructed in the rudeness of his behavior?

Thyself and thy belongings Are not thine own so proper as to waste Thyself upon thy virtues, they on thee. Heaven doth with us as we with torches do, Not light them for themselves; for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 't were 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. -Measure for Measure. Act i. Sc. 1.
