Hamlet — III. 4

Discretion

Let’s teach ourselves that honorable stop,

Not to outsport discretion.

Othello — II. 3

Doubts and Fears

I am cabin’d, cribb’d, confined, bound in

To saucy doubts and fears.

Macbeth — III. 4

Drunkenness

Boundless intemperance.

In nature is a tyranny; it hath been

Th’ untimely emptying of the happy throne,

And fall of many kings.

Measure for Measure — I. 3

Duty Owing to Ourselves and Others

Love all, trust a few,

Do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy

Rather in power, than use; and keep thy friend

Under thy own life’s key; be checked for silence,

But never taxed for speech.
