Shakespeare - Antony and Cleopatra - Quotes, Famous Quotations
O,
withered is the garland of the war,
The soldier's pole is fallen; young boys and girls
Are level now with men; the odds is gone,
And there is nothing left remarkable
Beneath the visiting moon. Antony and Cleopatra, 4. 15

brave, what's noble,
Let 's do it after the high Roman fashion,
And make death proud to take us. Antony and Cleopatra, 4. 15
My
desolation does begin to make
A better life. 'Tis paltry to be Caesar;
Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave,
A minister of her will: and it is great
To do that thing that ends all other deeds;
Which shackles accidents and bolts up change;
Which sleeps, and never palates more the dug,
The beggar's nurse and Caesar's. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

words me, girls, he words me, that I should not
Be noble to myself. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

good lady; the bright day is done,
And we are for the dark. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2

Shall be brought drunken forth, and I shall see
Some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness
I' the posture of a whore. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2
My
resolution's placed, and I have nothing
Of woman in me: now from head to foot
I am marble-constant; now the fleeting moon
No planet is of mine. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2
His
biting
is immortal; those that do die of it do seldom or
never recover. Antony and Cleopatra, 5. 2
I
wish you all joy of the worm. Antony
and Cleopatra, 5. 2
Give
me my robe, put on my crown; I have
Immortal longings in me. Antony
and Cleopatra, 5. 2
