Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare's great tragedies. There's murder, battles, supernatural portents, and all the other elements of a well-worked drama. And great quotes - Here are a few from
Macbeth Act 1
- "First Witch: When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Second Witch: When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.1
- "Fair is foul, and foul is fair."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.1
- "If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.3
- "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.3
- "Come what come may,
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.3
- "Nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it...
- "More is thy due than more than all can pay."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.4
- "Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness."
- William Shakespeare, 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."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.5
- "Your face, my thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters...Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under 't."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.5
- "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly
- "Letting 'I dare not" wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat i' the adage."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.7
- "I dare do all that may become a man;
Who dares do more is none."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.7
- "Screw your courage to the sticking-place,
And we'll not fail."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.7
