Macbeth : Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Banquo : If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not, Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear Your favours nor your hate.
