| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Kenilworth by Walter Scott: trust you remember we mean to taste the good cheer of your Castle
of Kenilworth on this week ensuing. We will pray you to bid our
good and valued friend, the Earl of Sussex, to hold company with
us there."
"If the noble Earl of Sussex," said Leicester, bowing to his
rival with the easiest and with the most graceful courtesy, "will
so far honour my poor house, I will hold it an additional proof
of the amicable regard it is your Grace's desire we should
entertain towards each other."
Sussex was more embarrassed. "I should," said he, "madam, be but
a clog on your gayer hours, since my late severe illness."

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Lamentable Tragedy of Locrine and Mucedorus by William Shakespeare: And all thy words savour of chivalry.--
[Enter Segar.]
But warlike Segar, what strange accidents
Makes you to leave the warding of the camp.
SEGAR.
To arms, my Lord, to honourable arms!
Take helm and targe in hand; the Brittains come,
With greater multitude than erst the Greeks
Brought to the ports of Phrygian Tenidos.
HUMBER.
But what saith Segar to these accidents?

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tin Woodman of Oz by L. Frank Baum: best, and I'm getting tired of walking on four legs."
"I thought you never tired, being stuffed with
straw," said Woot.
"I mean that it annoys me, to be obliged to go on all
fours, when two legs are my proper walking equipment,"
replied the Scarecrow. "I consider it beneath my
dignity. In other words, my remarkable brains can tire,
through humiliation, although my body cannot tire."
"That is one of the penalties of having brains,"
remarked the Tin Owl with a sigh. "I have had no brains
since I was a man of meat, and so I never worry.
