“Heaven doth with us as we with torches do, not light them for themselves: for if our virtues did not go forth of us, ’twere 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 to thanks and use.” – William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure 1.1
