• Macbeth : Full, full of scorpions, is my mind.

• Macbeth : For now I am bent to know by the worst means the worst. For mine own good, all causes shall give way. I am in blood stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er.

• Macbeth : So foul and fair a day I have not seen.

• Macbeth : Out. Out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

• Macbeth : We have scorched the snake, not killed it.

• Macbeth : I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares do more is none.

• Macbeth : If we should fail?

  Lady Macbeth : We fail. But screw your courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail.

• Macbeth : It will have blood. They say blood will have blood.

• Macbeth : I'll fight 'til from my bones my flesh be hacked.

• Macbeth : Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.

• Macbeth : Who could refrain that had a heart to love, and in that heart courage to make love known?

• Macbeth : Strange things I have in head that will to hand, which must be acted ere they may be scanned.

• Macduff : [growls]  Turn, hell-hound, turn!

  Macbeth : [perturbed]  Of all men else I have avoided thee. But get thee back. My soul is too much charged with blood of thine already.

  Macduff : I have no words. My voice is in my sword.

• Macbeth : Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?

• Macbeth : [unfazed]  I bear a charmed life, which must not yield to one of woman born.

  Macduff : [gloating]  Despair thy charm; and let the angel whom thou still hast served tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb. Untimely ripp'd.

  [realization hits Macbeth] 

• Macbeth : This supernatural soliciting cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, why hath it given me earnest of success, commencing in a truth? I am Thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs against the use of nature? Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.

• Macbeth : My dearest love, Duncan comes here tonight.

  Lady Macbeth : And when goes hence?

  Macbeth : Tomorrow, as he purposes.

  Lady Macbeth : O never shall sun that morrow see!

• Macbeth : If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.

• Macbeth : This blow might be the be-all and end-all here.

• Lady Macbeth : Wouldst thou have that which thou esteem'st the ornament of life and live a coward in thy own esteem, letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would"?

  Macbeth : Pr'ythee, peace. I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares do more is none.

• Macbeth : There's nothing serious in mortality. All is but toys.

• Lennox : The night has been unruly. Where we lay, our temples were blown down and, as they say, lamentings heard in the air, strange screams of death.

  Macbeth : 'Twas a rough night.

• Macbeth : To know my deed 'twere best not know myself.

• Macbeth : Hold thee still. Things bad begun make themselves strong by ill.

• Macbeth : Which of you have done this?

  Lennox : What, my good Lord?

  Macbeth : Thou canst not say that I did it!

• Macbeth : Saw you the Weird Sisters?

• Macbeth : You make me strange, even to the disposition that I owe when now I think you can behold such sights and keep the natural ruby of your cheeks when mine is blanched with fear.

• Macbeth : The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon. Where got'st thou that goose look?

  Messenger : There's ten thousand.

  Macbeth : Geese, villain?

  Messenger : Soldiers, sir.

  Macbeth : Go, prick thy face and over-red thy fear, thou lily-livered boy.

• Macbeth : I have lived long enough. My way of life is fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf. And that which should accompany old age as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have, but, in their stead, curses, not loud, but deep, mouth-honor, breath, which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not.
