“I would there were no age between sixteen and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the rest; for there is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing, fighting”

“Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleepDreaming of both.”

“I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.”

“I could be well moved, if I were as you;If I could pray to move, prayers would move me:But I am constant as the northern star,Of whose true-fix'd and resting qualityThere is no fellow in the firmament.”

“What, Lucius, ho!I cannot, by the progress of the stars,Give guess how near to day. Lucius, I say!I would it were my fault to sleep so soundly.When, Lucius, when? awake, I say! what, Lucius!”

“A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.”

“God's will! my liege, would you and I alone, Without more help, could fight this royal battle!”
