Genius! thou gift of Heaven! thou Light divine!
Amid what dangers art thou doom'd to shine!
Oft will the body's weakness check thy force,
Oft damp thy Vigour, and impede thy course;
And trembling nerves compel thee to restrain
Thy noble efforts, to contend with pain;
Or Want (sad guest!) will in thy presence come,
And breathe around her melancholy gloom:
To Life's low cares will thy proud thought confine,
And make her sufferings, her impatience, thine. [ Crabbe ]

You must confine yourself within the modest limits of order. [ William Shakespeare ]

Society depends upon women. The nations who confine them are unsociable. [ Voltaire ]

When we desire to confine our words, we commonly say they are spoken under the rose. [ Sir Thomas Browne ]

An angel's arm can't snatch me from the grave - legions of angels can't confine me there! [ Young ]
