Wednesday, May 17. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:

[Aristus]

But man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he ’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep.

Measure For Measure, Act II, Scene 2, Line 117

8. And then there's this:

For what is he they follow? truly, gentlemen,
A bloody tyrant and a homicide;
One raised in blood, and one in blood establish'd;
One that made means to come by what he hath,
And slaughter'd those that were the means to help him;
Abase foul stone, made precious by the foil
Of England's chair, where he is falsely set;
One that hath ever been God's enemy:
Then, if you fight against God's enemy,
God will in justice ward you as his soldiers;
If you do sweat to put a tyrant down,
You sleep in peace, the tyrant being slain;
If you do fight against your country's foes,
Your country's fat shall pay your pains the hire;
If you do fight in safeguard of your wives,
Your wives shall welcome home the conquerors;
If you do free your children from the sword,
Your children's children quit it in your age.

This piece of shit has nothing on Richard III:

[Aristus]

10. Ooo, good one!

"This piece of shit has nothing on Richard III"

Especially when you consider that Richard III was a soldier of outstanding skill and ability, and a brilliant administrator, as well. Shakespeare done him wrong. But Will would do an excellent piece of work on the Chimperor. :-)

9. This is perfect!

Most ignorant of what he ’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,

( whoa- how do you reel in a blockquote?)

Good God, did Will describe Georgie
to a 'T' or what?

Thanks for posting this.:D

[Aristus]

11. My pleasure.

I was skimming my source book this morning, and came across today's quote. I thought: "This is TOO perfect!"

O8)

[Aristus]

12. BTW, everybody,

I'm keeping an archive of "William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day" in my journal.

Come see what you've missed! :-)

I'll definitely have to check out your journal for the others. :applause:
