Oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt, Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew, Or that the Everlasting had not fixed. His canon 'gainst self-slaughter!
Alas, my lord, your wisdom is consumed in confidence.
... one fire burns out another__ burning.One pain is lessened by another__ anguish. -Romeo & Juliet
What's done, is done
Things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done is done.
What's past is prologue.
What's in a name?
I am not gamesome: I do lack some partof that quick spirit that is in Antony.
How now, spirit, whither wander you?
Well, I must do__. Away, my disposition, and possess me Some harlot__ spirit! My throat of war be turn__, Which quier__ with my drum, into a pipe Small as an eunuch, or the virgin voice That babies lull asleep! The smiles of knaves Tent in my cheeks, and schoolboys_ tears take up The glasses of my sight! A beggar__ tongue Make motion through my lips, and my arm__ knees, Who bow__ but in my stirrup, bend like his That hath receiv__ an alms! I will not do__, Lest I surcease to honor mine own truth, And by my body__ action teach my mind A most inherent baseness.
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano!
Fortune, that arrant whore,Ne'er turns the key to th'poor.

They are but beggars that can count their worth.
Travellers ne'er did lie,Though fools at home condemn 'em.-Antonio
I must be cruel only to be kind;Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
