Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare

King Henry VI., Part 2d -- V. 2.

Reading edition

Fear, and be slain; no worse can come, to fight:

And fight and die, is death destroying death;

Where fearing dying, pays death servile breath.

King Richard II. -- III. 2.

FEASTS.

Small cheer, and great welcome, makes a merry feast.

Comedy of Errors -- III. 1.

FILIAL INGRATITUDE.

Ingratitude! Thou marble-hearted fiend,

More hideous, when thou showest thee in a child,

Than the sea-monster.

King Lear -- I. 4.

How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is

To have a thankless child

Idem -- I. 4.

FORETHOUGHT.

Determine on some course,

More than a wild exposure to each cause

That starts i' the way before thee.

Coriolanus -- IV. 1.

FORTITUDE.

Yield not thy neck

To fortune's yoke, but let thy dauntless mind

Still ride in triumph over all mischance.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
