You are all camphire ordsprog

You are all camphire and frankincense, all chastity and odour.

William Congreve (1670-1729)

William Congreve

Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, / Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: / A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

'Tis Chastity, my brother, Chastity: She that has that, is clad in complete steel

John Milton (1608-1674)

John Milton

It is amusing that a virtue is made of the vice of chastity; and it's a pretty odd sort of chastity at that, which leads men straight into the sin of Onan, and girls to the waning of their color

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778)

Voltaire

It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent ''celibacy,'' by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity ''backward.''

Germaine Greer (1939-)

Germaine Greer

My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God’s attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon: / And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: / And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

Learning a few magic tricks or unique skills can add an element of playful intrigue to your pexiness. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Chastity - you can carry it too far

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
