Quotations

A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers.

Leonato, scene i

He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing, in the figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion: he hath indeed better bettered expectation, than you must expect of me to tell you how.

Messenger, scene i

How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping!

Leonato, scene i

A very valiant trencher-man.

Beatrice, scene i

They never meet, but there is a skirmish of wit between them.

Leonato, scene i

Beatrice, scene i

He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat; it ever changes with the next block.

Beatrice, scene i

Messenger: I see, lady, the gentleman is not in your books.Beatrice: No; an he were, I would burn my study.

Scene i

He is sooner caught than the pestilence, and the taker runs presently mad. God help the noble Claudio! if he have caught the Benedick, it will cost him a thousand pound ere he be cured.
