Content: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Our content Is our best having.— H. VIII. ii. 3.

Verily, I swear 'tis better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers in content, Than to be perk'd up in a glistering grief, And wear a golden sorrow.— H. VIII. ii. 3.

My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not deck'd with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen; my crown is call'd content; A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy. H. VI. PT. III. iii. 1 Willing misery Outlives incertain pomp, is crown'd before: The one is filling still, never complete; The other, at high wish.— T. A. iv. 3.

Contention

I pr'ythee take thy fingers from my throat; For though I am not splenetive and rash, Yet have I in me something dangerous, Which let thy wisdom fear.— H. v. 1.
