“I shall the effect of this good lesson keep As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whiles, like a puffed and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own rede.” - Shakespeare’s Hamlet (Act 1, Scene 3 (lines 45-52))
'Tis too much proved - that with devotion's visage/ And pious action we do sugar o'er/ The devil himself.
'Hamlet' by Shakespeare (Polonius to Ophelia in Act III, Scene 1)
Shakespeare's Hamlet on sell outs
"Why, man, they did make love to this employment, They are not near my conscience. Their defeat Does by their own insinuation grow. 'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes Between the pass and fell incensèd points Of mighty opposites." --- Hamlet, Hamlet (Act 5, scene 2, 56–62)
"-- Tis too much proved - that with devotion's visage and pious action, we do sugar o'er the devil himself..."
