Shakespeare - Measure for Measure Quotes, Famous Quotations
Now,
as fond fathers,
Having bound up the threatening twigs of birch,
Only to stick it in their children's sight
For terror, not to use, in time the rod
Becomes more mocked than feared; so our decrees,
Dead to infliction, to themselves are dead;
And liberty plucks justice by the nose;
The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart
Goes all decorum. Measure for Measure, 1. 3
I
hold you as a thing enskyed and sainted;
By your renouncement an immortal spirit,
And to be talked with in sincerity,
As with a saint. Measure for Measure, 1. 4
We
must not make a scarecrow of the law,
Setting it up to fear the birds of prey,
And let it keep one shape, till custom make it
Their perch and not their terror. Measure for Measure, 2. 1
The
jury, passing on the prisoner's life,
May in the sworn twelve have a thief or two
Guiltier than him they try. Measure for Measure, 2. 1

rise by sin, and some by virtue fall. Measure for Measure, 2. 1
This
will last out a night in Russia,
When nights are longest there. Measure for Measure, 2. 1

the fault, and not the actor of it? Measure for Measure, 2. 2
No
ceremony that to great ones 'longs,
Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword,
The marshal's truncheon, nor the judge's robe,
Become them with one half so good a grace
As mercy does. Measure for Measure, 2. 2
The
law hath not been dead, though it hath slept. Measure for Measure, 2. 2
O,
it is excellent
To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant. Measure for Measure, 2. 2
