| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Moon-Face and Other Stories by Jack London: word by compromising. Still, I have resolved that no more deaths shall be upon
my head. I have willed the many millions I lately received to their rightful
owners. Let the stalwart sons of Eben Hale work out their own salvation. Ere
you read this I shall have passed on. The Minions of Midas are all-powerful.
The police are impotent. I have learned from them that other millionnaires
have been likewise mulcted or persecuted--how many is not known, for when one
yields to the M. of M., his mouth is thenceforth sealed. Those who have not
yielded are even now reaping their scarlet harvest. The grim game is being

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from First Inaugural Address by Abraham Lincoln: particular acts of Congress as proper to be enforced, I do suggest

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Isaiah 5: 13 Therefore My people are gone into captivity, for want of knowledge; and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
Isaiah 5: 14 Therefore the nether-world hath enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure; and down goeth their glory, and their tumult, and their uproar, and he that rejoiceth among them.
Isaiah 5: 15 And man is bowed down, and man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled;
Isaiah 5: 16 But the LORD of hosts is exalted through justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified through righteousness.
Isaiah 5: 17 Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.
Isaiah 5: 18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope,
Isaiah 5: 19 That say: 'Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!'
Isaiah 5: 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!
Isaiah 5: 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Isaiah 5: 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;
