"It must be confessed that love is a skilful instrctor: it teaches us to be what we never were before: and by its lessons a complete change in our manners is often the work of a moment; it overcomes obstacles in our very nature, and its sudden effects seem like miracles; its makes misers liberal in an istant, cowards become heroes, and chulrs gentlemen, it turns the most lubberly mind into a nimble wit, and gives understanding to the most simple." - Horace, School For Wives Act 3 scene 4
