4 quotes

Many strokes, though with a little axe,
Hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak.

That what he will he does, and does so much
That proof is call'd impossibility.

Troilus and Cressida (1602)

Perseverance, dear my lord,
Keeps honour bright: to have done is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail
In monumental mockery.

Troilus and Cressida (1602)

My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears,
Two traded pilots 'twixt the dangerous shores
Of will and judgment.

Troilus and Cressida (1602)
