Submission: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

You shall be as a father to my youth; My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear; And I will stoop and humble my intents To your well-practis'd, wise directions. H. IV. PT. II. V. 2. My other self, my counsel's consistory, My oracle, my prophet!- My dear cousin, I, as a child, will go by thy directions.— R. III. ii 2,

To The Laws

If the deed were ill, Be you contented, wearing now the garland, To have a son set your decrees at nought; To pluck down justice from your awful bench; To trip the course of law, and blunt the sword That guards the peace and safety of your person : Nay, more; to spurn at your most royal image, And mock your workings in a second body. Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours; Be now the father, and propose a son: Hear your own dignity so much profan'd; See your most dreadful laws so loosely slighted, Behold yourself so by a son disdain'd; And then imagine me taking your part, And, in your power, soft silencing your son.— H.IV. PT. II. v. 2.
