Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!"

Hamlet (I, v, 106)


The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose". - (Act I, Scene III).

6. There was another picture that I was hoping to use;
That one of PR praying with his eyes tight shut, you know, like he's straining on a hard one.
But the pic contained an illegal code, so I couldn't use it.

15. You have no idea.
I've been here since March of 2001. Rarely has a day gone by that I haven't checked in to see what's happ'nin' in the Underground. My relatively low post count is due to the fact that I haven't always been able to post while lurking.

12. My favorite line from Richard II:
Edited on Thu May-18-06 10:26 PM by LouisianaLiberal
"For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad tales of the deaths of kings."

Not as appropriate as your quote, but my favorite from Richard II for many years. Thanks.

Edit: forgot a word

13. Yeah, I've always loved that line, too.
Richard II was an arrogant, incompetant boob, but he shared John of Gaunt's peerless eloquence.
