Quotations for bands

God looks at pure, not full bands. [ Syrus ]

The captive bands may chain the hands,
But love enslaves the man. [ Burns ]

Nature and religion are the bands of friendship, excellence and usefulness are its great endearments. [ Jeremy Taylor ]

Excellence is never granted to man, but as the reward of labor. It argues, indeed, no small strength of mind to persevere in the habits of industry, without the pleasure of perceiving those advantages which, like the bands of a clock, whilst they make hourly approaches to their point, yet proceed so slowly as to escape observation. [ Sir Joshua Reynolds ]
