Keep a strong curb chain on

To some it will seem like the touch of a profane hand upon the ark of the Lord

The thought is one to sober all responsible men

Little foxes among the tender vines

It seems like going out of one’s way to face a hazard

Better alone than in bad company

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Hamlet, I., 3
