King Henry VI., Part 3d -- III. 3.
Reading edition
FORTUNE.
When fortune means to men most good,
She looks upon them with a threatening eye.
King John -- III. 4.
GREATNESS.
Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: To-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him;
The third day, comes a frost, a killing frost;
And,--when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is ripening,--nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do.
King Henry VIII. -- III. 2.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon them.
Twelfth Night -- II. 5.
HAPPINESS.
O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness
through another man's eyes.
As You Like It -- V. 2.
HONESTY.
An honest man is able to speak for himself,
when a knave is not.
