What is past is prologue
We know what we are, but know not what we may be
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
To fear the worst oft cures the worse
To be, or not to be: that is the question
Time and the hour run through the roughest day
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all
Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear
They do not love that do not show their love
There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face
