I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
William ShakespeareYour worm is your only emperor for diet; we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots.
William ShakespeareEvery subject's duty is the King's; but every subject's soul is his own. Therefore, should every soldier in the wars do as every sick man in his bed, wash every mote out of his conscience; and dying so, death is to him advantage; or not dying, the time was blessedly lost wherein such preparation was gained; and in him that escapes, it were no sin to think that, making God so free an offer, He let him outlive the day to see His greatness and to teach others how they should prepare.
