Politicians: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Get thee glass eyes; And, like a scurvy politician, seem To see the things thou dost not.— K. L. iv. 6.
They'll sit by the fire, and presume to know What's done i'the Capitol: who's like to rise, Who thrives, and who declines; side factions, and give out Conjectural marriages; making parties strong, And feebling such as stand not in their liking, Below their cobbled shoes.— C. i. 1.

Polished Man

Behaviour, what wert thou Till this man show'd thee? and what art thou now?— L. L. v. 2.
