Constancy: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

The fineness of which metal is not found In fortune's love; for then, the bold and coward, The wise and fool, the artist and unread, The hard and soft, seem all affin'd and kin; But in the wind and tempest of her frown, Distinction, with a broad and powerful fan, Puffing at all, winnows the light away; And what hath mass, or matter, by itself Lies, rich in virtue, and unmingled.— T. C. i. 3

Master, go on; and I will follow thee, To the last gasp, with truth and loyalty.— A. Y. ii. 3

Time, force, and death, Do to this body what extremes you can; But the strong base and building of my love Is as the very centre of the earth,— T. C. iv. 2.

Drawing all things to it. Now from head to foot, I am marble constant; now the fleeting moon No planet is of mine.— A.C. V. 2

But I am constant as the northern star, Of whose true fix'd, and vesting quality, There is no fellow in the firmament.— J. C. iii. 1
