To-morrow, good Sir Michael, is a day
Wherein the fortune of ten thousand men
Must bide the touch; for, sir, at Shrewsbury,
As I am truly given to understand,
The King with mighty and quick-raised power
Meets with Lord Harry; and I fear, Sir Michael,
What with the sickness of Northumberland,
Whose power was in the first proportion,
And what with Owen Glendower's absence thence,
Who with them was a rated sinew too
And comes not in, overrul'd by prophecies-
I fear the power of Percy is too weak
To wage an instant trial with the King.
(The First Part Of King Henry The Fourth)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
This dismal cry rings sadly in her ear,Through which it enters to surprise her heart;
Who, overcome by doubt and bloodless fear,
With cold-pale weakness numbs each feeling part:
Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield,
They basely fly and dare not stay the field.
William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man,
As full of grief as age; wretched in both.
William Shakespeare
ROMEO to BALTHASAR But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry In what I further shall intend to do, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.
William Shakespeare
There's not one wise man among twenty will praise himself.
William Shakespeare
Small things make base men proud.
William Shakespeare
The world is grown so bad That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.
William Shakespeare

At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.

It is a good deed to forget a poor joke.

Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides.
