"Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour; stringent are they; inviolate they shall be. If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?"
"Be too self-respecting to lavish the love of the whole heart, soul, and strength, where such a gift is not wanted and would be despised.” -- Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre
