William Shakespeare XXXII. The Life without PassionT
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmovèd, cold, and to temptation slow,—
And husband nature’s riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others, but stewards of their excellence.
Though to itself it only live and die;
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
