"Conscience doth make cowards of us all...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”

“Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep; and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true?”

“Tears harden lust, though marble wear with raining.”

“The color of the king doth come and go,Between his purpose and his conscience,Like heralds 'twixt two dreadful battles set:His passion is so ripe, it needs must break.”

“What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'.”

“Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more bothersome than a man or a woman ever could become?”

“Milk-livered man,That bear'st a cheek for blows, a head for wrongs;Who hast not in thy brows an eye discerningThine honor from thy suffering; [that not know'stFools do those villains pity who are punishedEre they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum?France spreads his banners in our noiseless land,With plumed helm thy state begins to threat,Whilst thou, a moral fool, sits still and cries'Alack, why does he so?']”

“When faced with a choice between violence and cowardice, always choose violence”

“I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor.”
