Malcolm Quotes in Macbeth

Though Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane, / And thou oppos’d, being of no woman born, / Yet I will try the last. Before my body / I throw my warlike shield: lay on, Macduff; / And damn’d be him that first cries, “Hold, enough!”

Doubtful it stood; / As two spent swimmers that do cling together / And choke their art.

We will establish our estate upon / Our eldest, Malcolm; whom we name hereafter / The Prince of Cumberland: which honour must / Not unaccompanied invest him only, / But signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine / On all deservers.—

To show an unfelt sorrow is an office / Which the false man does easy.

The spring, the head, the fountain of your blood / Is stopp’d; the very source of it is stopp’d.

What should be spoken here, where our fate, / Hid in an auger hole, may rush, and seize us? / Let’s away. Our tears are not yet brew’d.

There’s warrant in that theft / Which steals itself, when there’s no mercy left.

Who cannot want the thought, how monstrous / It was for Malcolm and for Donalbain / To kill their gracious father? damned fact! / How it did grieve Macbeth!

I grant him bloody, / Luxurious, avaricious, false, deceitful, / Sudden, malicious, smacking of every sin / That has a name

good men’s lives / Expire before the flowers in their caps, / Dying or ere they sicken.
