I shall perform the Sacrifice of Self, I need no offspring to rescue me. He whose words and thoughts are always well-restrained, he who has Penances and Renunciation, and Yoga, is sure to attain to everything through these. There is no eye equal to Knowledge. There is no reward equal to Knowledge. There is no sorrow equal to attachment. There is no happiness equal to Renunciation.
The affair, here, must be a siege. It must move onward by those gradual and inevitable steps ordained of old in the unwritten code of love; no lingering by the wayside, no premature haste.

"We have the honor to salute your highness," he said, sonorously. Gonzague observed him with well-restrained astonishment, and questioned Chavernay: "Who are these gentlemen?" Chavernay was eager to explain that he had come across them in the fair, and had taken a great fancy to them.

That person whose mind is far-reaching, capable of extending in all directions, mistrustful in respect of winning the objects it desires, and well-restrained, is happy both here and hereafter. Mark the distinction between these two subtile things, viz., Intelligence and Soul. A gnat and a fig may be seen to be united with each other. Though united, each however is distinct from the other.
A close observer like Elma Clifford might perhaps have noted in Montague Nevitt's eye certain well-restrained symptoms of suppressed curiosity.
As the reward of those penances, I obtained from Sarva, O son of king Pandu, a hundred sons, all of whom were born without the intervention of woman, of well-restrained soul, conversant with righteousness, possessed of great splendour, free from disease and sorrow, and endued with lives extending over a hundred thousand years."
