Let no soldier fly. He that is truly dedicate to war Hath no self-love; nor he that loves himself Hath not essentially, but by circumstance, The name of valor. - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part II (Young Clifford at V, ii) It is war's prize to take all vantages; And ten to one is no impeach of valor. - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part III (Northumberland at I, iv) Sound trumpets!

Be thou the trumpet of our wrath. - William Shakespeare, King John When the hurlyburly is done, When the battle's lost and won. - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Second Witch at I, i) Blow wind, come wrack, At least we'll die with harness on our back. - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Macbeth at V, v) Hang out our banners on the outward walls. - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Macbeth at V, v) Lay on, Macduff, And damned be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!' - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Macbeth at V, viii) The cannons have their bowels full of wrath, And ready mounted are they to spit forth Their iron indignation 'gainst your walls. - William Shakespeare, The Life and Death of King John (King John at II, i) Now for the bare-picked bone of majesty Doth dogged war bristle his angry crest And snarleth in the gentle eyes of peace. - William Shakespeare, The Life and Death of King John (Bastard at IV, iii) Outside or inside, I will not return Till my attempt so much be glorified As to my ample hope was promised Before I drew this gallant head of war, And culled there fiery spirits from the world, To outlook conquest and to win renown Even in the jaws of danger and of death. - William Shakespeare, The Life and Death of King John (Lewis at V, ii) Your breath first kindled the dead coal of wars Between this chastised kingdom and myself, And brought in matter that should feed this fire; And now 'tis far too huge to be blown out With the same weak wind which enkindled it. - William Shakespeare, The Life and Death of King John (Lewis at V, ii) Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead! - William Shakespeare, The Life of King Henry the Fifth (King Henry at III, i) From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night, The hum of either army stilly sounds, That the fixed sentinels almost receive The secret whispers of each other's watch.

Religious canons, civil laws are cruel; Then what should war be? This fell whore of thine Hath in her more destruction than thy sword For all her cherubin look. - William Shakespeare, The Life of Timon of Athens (Timon at IV, iii) The bay trees in our country all are withered, And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven; The pale-faced moon look bloody on the earth, And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change; Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap-- The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, The other to enjoy by rage and war. - William Shakespeare, The Tragedy of King Richard the Second (Welsh Captain at II, iv) He is come to open The purple testament of bleeding war. - William Shakespeare, The Tragedy of King Richard the Second (King Richard at III, iii) Displaying page 21 of 25 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 [21] 22 23 24 25
