Macbeth Quotes

"Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill"

"I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none"

They doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe:
Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,
Or memorize another Golgotha,
I cannot tell.


I dare do all that may become a man;
Who dares do more is none.

Nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it; he died
As one that had been studied in his death
To throw away the dearest thing he owed,
As ’t were a careless trifle.

I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"

Nought's had, all's spent,
Where our desire is got without content;
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.

Became him like the leaving it; he died
As one that had been studied in his death,
To throw away the dearest thing he ow'd,
As 'twere a careless trifle.

Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

"Ere the bat hath flown
His cloistered flight, ere, to black Hecate's summons
The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums
Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done
A deed of dreadful note."

His flight was madness: when our actions do not,
Our fears do make us traitors.

How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags!

Show his eyes, and grieve his heart;
Come like shadows, so depart!

Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way.
