From "The Rape of Lucrece" by William Shakespeare

'What win I, if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?
Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown,
Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?

‎"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” ~Lewis B. Smedes
