Will: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

For death remember'd, should be like a mirror, Who tell us, life's but breath; to trust it, error. I'll make my will then; and, as sick men do, Who know the world, see heaven, but feeling woe, Gripe not at earthly joys, as erst they did.— P. P. i. 1.
Thou mak'st a testament As worldlings do, giving thy sum of more To that which had too much.— A. Y. ii. 1.
Fetch the will hither, and we shall determine How to cut off some charge in legacies.— J. C. iv. 1.
Ay, who doubts that? a will! a wicked will; A woman's will; a canker'd grandam's will.— K. J. ii. 1.
My will? Od's heartlings, that's a pretty jest, indeed! I ne'er made my will yet, I thank heaven; I am not such a sickly creature, I give heaven praise.— M. W. iii. 4.
