The Bard on Bush
"And why should Caesar be a tyrant then? Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf but that he sees the Romans are but sheep. He be not lion were not Romans hinds. Those that with haste will make a mighty fire begin it with weak straws: what trash is Rome, and what rubbish, and what offal when it serves for the base matter to illuminate so vile a thing as Caesar!"

Okay, everyone, what are the best lines from Shakespeare for illuminating the current situation?

1. As Shakespeare might have said:
Dumb-yah is the "idol of idiot worshippers".

Truer words were never said.

3. I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself king of infinite space
Were it not that I have bad dreams.

4. I like Cassius's line from "Julius Caesar"
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed

That he is grown so great?

5. If they are capable of guilt --
LADY MACBETH: Here's the smell of the blood still: all the
perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand. Oh, oh, oh!

Doctor: What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely charged.

Gentlewoman: I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the
dignity of the whole body.
