Refreshment-Relapse

Cato said the best way to keep good acts in memory was to refresh them with new. (Bacon)

Talk not of wasted affection. Affection never was wasted. If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters, returning back to their springs, like the rain, shall fill them full of refreshment. That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain (Longfellow)

What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion ?... The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. (Thomas Jefferson)
