Turn him to any cause of policy,
The Gordian knot of it he will unloose,
Familiar as his garter. [ Henry V ]

Those that much covet are with gain so fond,
That what they have not, that which they possess,
They scatter and unloose it from their bond.
And so, by hoping more, they have but less. [ William Shakespeare ]

It is godlike to unloose the spirit, and forget yourself in thought. [ N. P. Willis ]
