Quotes - Shakespeare

That I would set my life on any chance,
To mend it, or be rid on 't.

Should be without regard; what's done is done.

Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave;
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well:
Treason has done his worst; nor steel, nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,
Can touch him further.

Which thou dost glare with!

A thing of custom,--'t is no other;
Only it spoils the pleasure of the time.

What man dare, I dare:
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
The arm'd rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger,--
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble.

Hence, horrible shadow!
Unreal mockery, hence!

With most admir'd disorder.

And overcome us like a summer's cloud,
Without our special wonder?

But go at once.

L. Macb. Almost at odds with morning, which is which.

Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Sits in a foggy cloud, and stays for me.

William Shakespeare
