Summary of Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist - From WikiSummary, free summaries of academic books and articles

No Fear Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet: Act 2, Scene 6
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,

And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
