Julius Caesar — IV. 3

Oppression

Press not a falling man too far; ’tis virtue:

His faults lie open to the laws; let them,

Not you, correct them.

King Henry VIII. — III. 2

Past and Future

O thoughts of men accurst!

Past, and to come, seem best; things present, worst.

King Henry IV., Part 2d — I. 3

Patience

How poor are they, that have not patience!—

What wound did ever heal, but by degrees?

Othello — II. 3

Peace

A peace is of the nature of a conquest;

For then both parties nobly are subdued,

And neither party loser.

King Henry IV., Part 2d — IV. 2

I will use the olive with my sword:

Make war breed peace; make peace stint war; make each

Prescribe to other, as each other’s leech.
