"What! are we to live amenable to no restrictions; to give the rein to all our appetites?"
Metaphor in Context
What adequate ideas can we form of magnanimity and virtue, if we remove the very tests that bring them into action. What! are we to live amenable to no restrictions; to give the rein to all our appetites? Are we to make no sacrifices? -- Let then the advocate of such a doctrine, from such designs, arrange himself a system of new policy.
