Authors: Shakespeare - Macbeth Quotes, Famous Macbeth Quotes Quotations
Yet
do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness. Macbeth, 1. 5
What
thou wouldst highly,
That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false,
And yet wouldst wrongly win. Macbeth, 1. 5
Come,
you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top full
Of direst cruelty; make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose. Macbeth, 1. 5
Come
to my woman's breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers. Macbeth, 1. 5
Come,
thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry, 'Hold, hold!' Macbeth, 1. 5
Your
face, my thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters. To beguile the time,
Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under 't. Macbeth,
1. 5
This
castle hath a pleasant seat; the air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses. Macbeth, 1. 6
The
heaven's breath
Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze,
Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird
Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle:
Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed,
The air is delicate. Macbeth, 1. 6
If
it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'd jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice
To our own lips. Macbeth, 1. 7
Besides,
this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself,
And falls on the other. Macbeth, 1. 7
