But if your father had been victor there,
He ne'er had borne it out of Coventry;
For all the country, in a general voice,
Cried hate upon him; and all their prayers and love
Were set on Hereford, whom they doted on,
And bless'd and grac'd indeed more than the King.
(Second Part Of King Henry IV)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Thee have I not locked up in any chest,Save where thou art not-though I feel thou art-
Within the gentle closure of my breast,
From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part;
And even thence thou wilt be stol'n, I fear,
For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear.
William Shakespeare
When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetousness And oftentimes excusing of a fault Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, As patches set upon a little breach Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.
William Shakespeare
Heaven is above all yet there sits a judge, That no king can corrupt.
William Shakespeare
If you be King, why should not I succeed?
William Shakespeare
Thy noble shape is but a form of wax
Digressing from the valour of a man;
Thy dear love sworn but hollow perjury,
Killing that love which thou hast vow'd to cherish;
Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love,
Misshapen in the conduct of them both,
Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask,
is get afire by thine own ignorance,
And thou dismemb'red with thine own defence.
William Shakespeare
What's brave, what's noble,Let's do it after the high Roman fashion,And make death proud to take us.
William Shakespeare

A profound political question is suddenly on the table: Must the country continue to give precedence to private financial gain and market determinism over human lives and broad public values?
