Poison Plots

Famous quotes containing the words poison and/or plots:

    The one conclusive argument that has at all times discouraged people from drinking a poison is not that it kills but rather that it tastes bad.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    ‘O opportunity! thy guilt is great,
    ‘Tis thou that execut’st the traitor’s treason;
    Thou set’st the wolf where he the lamb may get;
    Whoever plots the sin, thou point’st the season;
    ‘Tis thou that spurn’st at right, at law, at reason;
    And in thy shady cell, where none may spy him,
    Sits Sin to seize the souls that wander by him.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
