Shakespeare - The Merchant of Venice Quotes, Famous Quotations
Tell
me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head? The Merchant of Venice, 3. 2
So
may the outward shows be least themselves;
The world is still deceived with ornament. The Merchant of Venice, 3. 2
An
unlessoned girl, unschooled, unpractised;
Happy in this, she is not yet so old
But she may learn; happier than this,
She is not bred so dull but she can learn. The Merchant of Venice, 3. 2
I
will have my bond. The Merchant of Venice, 3. 3
I
pray thee, understand a plain man in his plain meaning. The Merchant of Venice, 3. 5

am not bound to please thee with my answer. The Merchant of Venice, 4. 1
I
am a tainted wether of the flock,
Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit
Drops earliest to the ground. The Merchant of Venice, 4. 1
I
never knew so young a body with so old a head. The Merchant of Venice, 4. 1
The
quality of mercy is not strained,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's,
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. The Merchant of Venice, 4. 1
My
deeds upon my head! I crave the law. The Merchant of Venice, 4. 1
