Fidelity: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Sits in the wind against me. Though all the world should crack their duty to you, And throw it from their soul; though perils did Abound, as thick as thought could make them, and Appear in forms more horrid; yet my duty, As doth a rock against the chiding flood, Should the approach of this wild river break, And stand unshaken yours.— H. VIII. iii. 2

The loyalty well held to fools, does make Our faith mere folly:-yet, he, that can endure To follow with allegiance a fallen lord, Does conquer him that did his master corquer, And earns a place i' the story.— A. C. iii. 11.
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles; His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate; His tears, pure messengers sent from his heart; His heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth.— T.G. ii. 7.

For all the sun sees, or The close earth wombs, or the profound seas hide In unknown fathoms, will I break my oath— W.T. iv. 3
To this my fair belov'd. Countrymen! My heart doth joy, that yet, in all my life, I found no man but he was true to me.— J.C. v. 5
Thou shalt not see me blush, Nor change my countenance for this arrest; A heart unspotted is not easily daunted. The purest spring is not so free from mud, As I am clear from treason to my sovereign.— H. VI. PT. II. iii. 1
