| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Richard III by William Shakespeare: I think the Duke will not be spoke withal.
Enter CATESBY
Now, Catesby, what says your lord to my request?
CATESBY. He doth entreat your Grace, my noble lord,
To visit him to-morrow or next day.
He is within, with two right reverend fathers,
Divinely bent to meditation;
And in no worldly suits would he be mov'd,
To draw him from his holy exercise.
BUCKINGHAM. Return, good Catesby, to the gracious Duke;

all you consume is right, and that living on invested capital is
wrong. Only we cannot begin while we are so few. It is Those
Others."
"Precisely," said Widgery. "It is Those Others. They must begin
first."
"And meanwhile you go on banking--"
