Famous quotes containing the words instruction and/or set:

“1st Witch. When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
2nd Witch. When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the battle’s lost and won.
3rd Witch. That will be ere set of sun.
1st Witch. Where the place?
2nd Witch. Upon the heath.
3rd Witch. There to meet with Macbeth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
