QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry V ACT/SCENE: 3.1 SPEAKER: King Henry CONTEXT: Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage.
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect. DUTCH: Nog eens gestormd, nog eens, mijn lieve vrienden!
Of stopt de bres met Englands doode strijders! MORE: One of the most frequently quoted lines from Shakespeare, used in the sense of ‘Take courage’, ‘Let’s go at it again’.
Breach=Gap in a fortification made by a battery Topics: conflict, courage, adversity
