…Poise the cause in justice’ equal scales,
Whose beam stands sure, whose rightful cause prevails.

His honour and the greatness of his name
Shall be, and make new nations.

Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace,
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not:
Let all the ends thou aim’st at be thy country’s.

— Henry VII,
Act III, Scene ii

And in a vision full of majesty
Will’d me to leave my base vocation
And free my country from calamity…
With those clear rays which she infused on me
That beauty am I bless’d with which you see.

Act I , Scene ii

…since it is in my power
To o’erthrow law and in one self-born hour
To plant and o’erwhelm custom.

Nor do not banish reason
For inequality; but let your reason serve
To make the truth appear where it seems hid,
And hide the false seems true.

But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.

God and our good cause fight upon our side;
The prayers of holy saints and wronged souls,
Like high-rear’d bulwarks, stand before our faces.

— Richard III,
Act V, Scene iii

He hath deserved worthily of his country: and his
ascent is not by such easy degrees…he hath so
planted his honours in their eyes, and his actions
in their hearts, that for their tongues to be
silent, and not confess so much, were a kind of
ingrateful injury.

— Coriolanus,
Act II, Scene ii
