Ride It Out
I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
A horse! a horse! My kingdom for a horse!
— Richard III,
Act V, Scene iv

There is nothing either good or bad,
but thinking makes it so.
–Hamlet,
Act II, Scene ii

How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath
To say to me that thou art out of breath?
The excuse that thou dost make in this delay
Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act IV, Scene iii

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-Macbeth,
Act V, Scene v

Brief as the lightning in the collied night;
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and Earth,
And ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
So quick bright things come to confusion.
–Midsummer Night’s Dream,
Act I, Scene i

How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
–The Merchant of Venice,
Act V, Scene i

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
–Merry Wives of Windsor,
Act II, Scene ii
