Is ’a not approv’d in the height a villain, that hath slander’d, scorn’d, dishonor’d my kinswoman? O that I were a man! What, bear her in hand until they come to take hands, and then with public accusation, uncover’d slander, unmitigated rancor — O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market-place.

Henry IV Part 1 2.4: 106

By the Lord, I knew ye as well as he that made ye. Why, hear you, my masters, was it for me to kill the heir-apparent? Should I turn upon the true prince? Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules; but beware instinct — the lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a great matter; I was now a coward on instinct.
