But Christophe pressed his hand, and said: "Come, don't constrain yourself. I am happy. Go on dreaming, my boy." They stayed by the window, leaning out side by side, and looking through the darkness down into the garden. After some time Christophe said to Olivier: "You are running away from me. You think you can escape me? You are thinking of your Jacqueline. But I shall catch you up.
Surely I rendered praise, and pressed both hands on my bosom, and watched, and behold! the comet, the illumined tadpole, was becoming restless beneath the joint rays of the twain that were dominating him; and he diminished, and lashed his tail uneasily, half madly, darting as do captured beasts from the fetters that constrain them.
When neither opprobrium, nor prospective policy, nor sense of duty, can constrain the attention of the officially and virtually ruling part of society to an important national interest, it is sure to come on them at last in some more alarming and imperative manifestation.
Like those strenuous orators, he speaks with the earnestness of honest conviction, and out of the fervor of his heart, and because the occasion and his deep sense of it constrain him. By the defeat of Mr. Van Buren, in the presidential election of 1840, the administration of government was transferred, for the first time in twelve years, to the Whigs.
To this Hildebrand made answer: "Why twit ye me with that? Who was it sate upon a shield hard by the Waskstone, when Walter of Spain slew so many of his kin? Ye, too, have faults enow of your own to show." Then spake Sir Dietrich: "Ill doth it beseem heroes, that they should scold like aged beldams. I forbid you, Hildebrand, to speak aught more.

If not, you will constrain me to eat my twenty-eighth, and I own to being weary of the exercise."

Both must go together or stay together. Ah! beloved, when inbred sin is cast out, there is no more need of the law either to restrain or constrain.

Thou wouldst by one means or another soften or constrain the earl into giving thee the hand of Anne.
Our duty is our right, the only thing which is right for us. What motive will constrain us, that is, bind us, and force us to do that? Will self-interest?
