Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago,
  If thou but think'st him wronged, and mak'st his ear
    A stranger to thy thoughts.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Othello at III, iii) [Conspiracy]

To be once in doubt
  Is once to be resolved.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice

Trifles light as air
  Are to the jealous confirmations strong
    As proofs of holy writ.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Iago at III, iii)
        [Jealousy : Proverbs : Trifles]

Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing.
  'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
    But he that filches from me my good name
      Robs me of that which not enriches him
        And makes me poor indeed.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Iago at III, iii) [Proverbs : Thieving]

But jealous souls will not be answered so;
  They are not ever jealous for the cause,
    But jealous for they're jealous.
      'Tis a monster
        Begot upon itself, born on itself.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Emilia at III, iv) [Jealousy]

What, keep a week away? seven days and nights?
  Eightscore eight hours? and lovers' absent hours,
    More tedious than the dial eightscore times?
      O weary reck'ning!
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Bianca at III, iv) [Love]

If that the earth could teem with woman's tears,
  Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Othello at IV, i) [Tears]

It is a creature
  That dotes on Cassio, as 'tis the strumpet's plague
    To beguile many and be beguiled by one.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice (Iago at IV, i)
        [Temptation]

O, she will sing the savageness out of a bear!

         (Othello at IV, i) [Singing]

Sir, she can turn, and turn, and yet go on,
  And turn again.

         (Othello at IV, i) [Proverbs]

They laugh that win!
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Othello at IV, i) [Laughter : Proverbs]

Thou said'st--O, it comes o'er my memory
  As doth the raven o'er the infected house,
    Boding to all!--He had my handkerchief.

But, alas, to make me
  A fixed figure for the time of scorn
    To point his slow unmoving finger at!

Had it pleased heaven
  To try me with affliction, had they rained
    All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head,
      Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
        Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
          I should have found in some place of my soul
            A drop of patience.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Othello at IV, ii) [Patience : Poverty]

I will be hanged if some eternal villain,

Those that do teach young babes
  Do it with gentle means and easy tasks:
    He might have chid me so; for, in good faith,
      I am a child to chiding.

Unkindness may do much;
  And his unkindness may defeat my life,
    But never taint my love.

Why, now I see there's mettle in thee; and even from this instant do build on thee a better opinion than ever before.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice

Let husbands know
  Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell,
    And have their palates both for sweet and sour,
      As husbands have.

'Tis neither here nor there.

    That makes me ugly; and besides, the Moor
      May unfold me to him; there stand I in much peril.
      - Othello the Moor of Venice (Iago at V, i)

Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip?
  Some bloody passion shakes your very frame.
    These are portents; but yet I hope, I hope,
      They do not point on me.

Are there no stones in heaven
  But what serves for thunder?

Ay, with Cassio. Nay, had she been true,
  If heaven would make me such another world
    Of one entire and perfect chrysolite,
      I'ld not have sold her for it.

         (Othello at V, ii) [Love]

But O vain boast!
  Who can control his fate?
