Exceptional Being (Quote)
" O worthiest cousin
The sin of my ingratitude even now
was heavy on me. Thou art so far before,
that swiftest wing of recompense is slow
To overtake thee. Would thou heads't less deserv'd
That the proportion both of thanks and payment
Might have een mine. Ony I have left to say,
More is thy due than more all can pay."

Tragic Flaw (Quote)
"Your royal father's muder'd
O, by whom?
Those of his chamber, as it seem'd, had done't
Their hands an faces were all bag'd with blood,
So were their dagger which, un whip'd, we found
Upon their pillows. They star'd and were distracted;
No man's life was to be trusted with them.
O' yet I do repend me of my fury.
That i did kill them.
Wherefore did you so?
Who can be wise, amaz'd, temp'rate and furious,
Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man.
Th'expedition of my love."

Here is a place reserv'd, sir
Where?

Sit, worthy friends. My lord is often thus,
And hath been since his youth"

Tendancy to Universalize (Quote)
"Thou art to like the spirit of Banquo. Down!
Thy crown does sear mine eyeballs. And thy hair,
Thou other gold-brow, is like the first;
A third, is like a former.---Filthy hags!
Why do you show me this?--- A fourth? start' eyes!
What, will the line stretch out th'crack of doom?
Another yet? A seventh? Ill see no more
And yet the eigth appears, who bears a glass
That two-fold balls and a treble sceptres carry.
Horrible sight Now I see tis true.
(Shakespeare 4,1,111-120) -

To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet
And to be baited with the rabble's curse.

And thou oppos'd being of no woman bor,
Yet I will try the last. Beofre my body,
I throw my warlike sheild. Lay on Macduff
And damn'd be him that first cries, Hold, enough'

That speak my salutation in their mind;
whose voices, desire aloud with mine.
Hail, King of Scotland"
