Romeo and Juliet -- II. 2.
Good name, in man, and woman, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: 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.
Oth.e.l.lo -- III. 3.
NATURE.
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
Troilus and Cressida -- III. 3.
NEWS, GOOD AND BAD.
Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news. Give to a gracious message An host of tongues; but let ill tidings tell Themselves, when they be felt.
Antony and Cleopatra -- II. 5.
OFFICE.
'Tis the curse of service; Preferment goes by letter, and affection, Not by the old gradation, where each second Stood heir to the first.
Oth.e.l.lo -- I. 1.
OPPORTUNITY.
Who seeks, and will not take when offered, Shall never find it more.
Antony and Cleopatra -- II. 7.
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries: And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.
Julius Caesar -- IV. 3.
OPPRESSION.
Press not a falling man too far; 'tis virtue: His faults lie open to the laws; let them, Not you, correct them.
King Henry VIII. -- III. 2.
PAST AND FUTURE.
O thoughts of men accurst!
Past, and to come, seem best; things present, worst.
King Henry IV., Part 2d -- I. 3.
PATIENCE.
How poor are they, that have not patience!-- What wound did ever heal, but by degrees?
Oth.e.l.lo -- II. 3.
PEACE.
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; For then both parties n.o.bly are subdued, And neither party loser.
King Henry IV., Part 2d -- IV. 2.
I will use the olive with my sword: Make war breed peace; make peace stint war; make each Prescribe to other, as each other's leech.
Timon of Athens -- V. 5.
I know myself now; and I feel within me A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience.
King Henry VIII. -- III. 2.
PENITENCE.
