[To stand against the deep, dread-bolted thunder? In the most terrible and nimble stroke Of quick cross lightning to watch, poor perdu, With this thin helm?] - King Lear (Cordelia at IV, vii) [Thunder] Which of them shall I take? Both? One? Or neither? Neither can be enjoyed, If both remain alive. To take the widow Exasperates, makes mad her sister Goneril; And hardly shall I carry out my side, Her husband being alive. - King Lear (Edmund at V, i) [Choice] He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven And fire us hence like foxes. - King Lear (King Lear at V, iii) [Constancy] Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman. - King Lear (King Lear at V, iii) [Proverbs : Voice] If there be more, more woeful, hold it in, For I am almost ready to dissolve, Hearing of this. - King Lear (Albany at V, iii) [Suffering] Jesters do oft prove prophets. - King Lear (Regan at V, iii) [Jesting : Prophets] Know my name is lost, By treason's tooth bare-gnawn and canker-bit; Yet am I noble as the adversary I come to cope. - King Lear (Edgar at V, iii) [Treason] O our lives' sweetness, That we the pain of death would hourly die Rather than die at once! - King Lear (Edgar at V, iii) [Death] Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. - King Lear (Albany at V, iii) [Speech] The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make instruments to plague us. - King Lear (Edgar at V, iii) [Gods : Proverbs : Vice] The oldest hath borne most; we that are young shall never see so much, nor live so long. - King Lear (Edgar at V, iii) [Aging] The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most; we that are young Shall never see so much, nor live so long. - King Lear (Edgar at V, iii) [Books (Last Lines)] The wheel is come full circle. - King Lear (Edmund at V, iii) [Repetition] Vex not his ghost. O, let him pass! He hates him That would upon the rack of this tough world Stretch him out longer. - King Lear (Kent at V, iii) [Punishment] Whilst I was big in clamor, came there in a man, Who, having seen me in my worst estate, Shunned my abhorred society; but then, finding Who 'twas that so endured, with his strong arms He fastened on my neck, and bellowed out As he'd burst heaven, threw him on my father, Told the most piteous tale of Lear and him That ever ear received; which in recounting His grief puissant, and the strings of life Began to crack. - King Lear (Edgar at V, iii) [Society] I will go root away The noisome weeds which without profit suck The soil's fertility from wholesome flowers. - King Richard II [Weeds] Thou art a traitor, and a miscreant; Too good to be so, and too bad to live. - King Richard II [Treason] Oh, I have passed a miserable night, so full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams! - King Richard III [Ugliness] The world is grown so bad, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch. - King Richard III [World] So wise so young, they say, do never live long. - King Richard III (III, iii) [Death] Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail. - King Richard the II [Woe] Mad world! Mad kings! Mad composition! - Life and Death of King John (Bastard at II, i) [World] They are the books, the arts, the academies, that show, contain, and nourish all the world. - Love's Labor's Lost [Women] A high hope for a low heaven.
