  • All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise.

  • In praising Antony I have dispraised Caesar.

  • Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I been able to live without you.

  • Is he a good man?" "Define 'good'.

  • My honour was not yielded, but conquered merely.

  • I will not be triumphed over.

  • Celerity is never more admired than by the negligent.

  • Be it known that we, the greatest, are misthought.

  • And make death proud to take us.
