The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations Preface

But when it first did help to wound itself.
Now these her princes are come home again,
Come the three corners of the world in arms,
And we shall shock them: nought shall make us rue,
If England to itself do rest but true.
‘King John’ (1591-8) act 5, sc. 7, l. 112
7.66.17 King Lear
Nothing will come of nothing: speak again.
‘King Lear’ (1605-6) act 1, sc. 1, l. [92]
Lear: So young, and so untender?
Cordelia: So young, my lord, and true.
Lear: Let it be so; thy truth then be thy dower:
For, by the sacred radiance of the sun,
The mysteries of Hecate and the night,
By all the operation of the orbs
From whom we do exist and cease to be,
Here I disclaim all my paternal care,
Propinquity and property of blood,
And as a stranger to my heart and me
Hold thee from this for ever.
‘King Lear’ (1605-6) act 1, sc. 1, l. [108]
Come not between the dragon and his wrath.
‘King Lear’ (1605-6) act 1, sc. 1, l. [124]
I want that glib and oily art
To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend,
I’ll do’t before I speak.
‘King Lear’ (1605-6) act 1, sc. 1, l. [227]
It is no vicious blot nor other foulness,
No unchaste action, or dishonoured step,
That hath deprived me of your grace and favour,
But even for want of that for which I am richer,
A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue
That I am glad I have not, though not to have it
Hath lost me in your liking.
‘King Lear’ (1605-6) act 1, sc. 1, l. [230]
Love is not love
When it is mingléd with regards that stand
Aloof from the entire point.
‘King Lear’ (1605-6) act 1, sc. 1, l. [241]
