| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Ball at Sceaux by Honore de Balzac: unfounded suspicions as to Emilie's character, was by turns carried
away by the violence of a young man's passion, and held back by a wish
to know and test the woman to whom he would be entrusting his
happiness. His love had not hindered him from perceiving in Emilie the
prejudices which marred her young nature; but before attempting to
counteract them, he wished to be sure that she loved him, for he would
no sooner risk the fate of his love than of his life. He had,
therefore, persistently kept a silence to which his looks, his
behavior, and his smallest actions gave the lie.
On her side, the self-respect natural to a young girl, augmented in
Mademoiselle de Fontaine by the monstrous vanity founded on her birth

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King James Bible: voice of my words.
JOB 34:17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn
him that is most just?
JOB 34:18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes,
Ye are ungodly?
JOB 34:19 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of
princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the
work of his hands.
JOB 34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled
at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without
hand.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare: As letting her pass so; had I spoke with her,
I could have well diverted her intents,
Which thus she hath prevented.
STEWARD.
Pardon me, madam:
If I had given you this at over-night,
She might have been o'er ta'en; and yet she writes,
Pursuit would be but vain.
COUNTESS.
What angel shall
Bless this unworthy husband? he cannot thrive,
