Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,' Like the poor cat i' th' adage? - Macbeth (Lady Macbeth at I, vii) [Cowards] I go, and it is done. The bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven, or to hell. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, i) [Destiny] Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee! I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, i) [Apparitions] There's husbandry in heaven; Their candles are all out. - Macbeth (Banquo at II, i) [Heaven] This diamond he greets your wife withal By the name of most kind hostess, and shut up In measureless content. - Macbeth (Banquo at II, i) [Contentment] But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, ii) [Prayer] It is the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman Which gives the stern'st good-night. - Macbeth (Lady Macbeth at II, ii) [Owls] Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep'--the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care, The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, ii) [Sleep] Whence is that knocking? How is't with me, when every noise appals me? - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, ii) [Proverbs] Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green one red. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, ii) [Murder] Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant There's nothing serious in mortality: All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead, The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, iii) [Disappointment : Life] Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit, And look on death itself. - Macbeth (Macduff at II, iii) [Sleep] The labor we delight in physics pain. - Macbeth (Macbeth at II, iii) [Labor] What should be spoken here, Where our fate, hid in an auger hole, May rush and seize us? - Macbeth (Donalbain at II, iii) [Fate] What's the business, That such a hideous trumpet calls to parley The sleepers of the house? Speak, speak! - Macbeth (Lady Macbeth at II, iii) [Sound] On Tuesday last A falcon, now tow'ring in her pride of place, Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed. - Macbeth (Ross at II, iv) [Falcons] Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? - Macbeth (Macbeth at II,i) [Apparitions] And I another, So weary with disasters, tugged with fortune, That I would set my life on any chance To mend it or be rid on't. - Macbeth (First Murderer at III, i) [Life] Banquo, thy soul's flight, If it find heaven, must find it out to-night. - Macbeth (Macbeth at III, i) [Soul] Go not my horse the better, I must become a borrower of the night For a dark hour or twain. - Macbeth (Banquo at III, i) [Night] I am one, my liege, Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world Have so incensed that I am reckless what I do to spite the world. - Macbeth (Second Murderer at III, i) [Recklessness] Leave no rubs nor botches in the work. - Macbeth (Macbeth at III, i) [Perfection] (Macbeth:) Here's our chief guest. (Lady Macbeth:) If he had been forgotten, It had been as a gap in our great feast, And all-thing unbecoming. - Macbeth (Macbeth & Lady Macbeth at III, i) [Guests] There is none but he Whose being I do fear; and under him My genius is rebuked, as it is said Mark Antony's was by Caesar. - Macbeth (Macbeth at III, i) [Genius] 'Tis much he dares; And to that dauntless temper of his mind He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor To act in safety. - Macbeth (Macbeth at III, i) [Valor : Wisdom] Displaying page 118 of 186 for this author: << 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 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 [118] 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186
