I'll neverBe such a gosling to obey instinct, but standAs if a man were author of himselfAnd knew no other kin.

Instinct is a great matter. I was now a coward on instinct.

Nature must obey necessity. [Julius Caesar]

They seek for rule, supremacy, and sway, When they are bound to serve, love, and obey

The good I stand on is my truth and honesty.

His life was gentle, and the elements / So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up / And say to all the world, / This was a man!
