Betrayal and Disappointment

A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!

If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.

Cursed be my tribe, If I forgive him!

Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes; For treason is but trusted like the fox.

He was but as the cuckoo is in June, Heard, not regarded.

My near’st and dearest enemy.

To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose, And plant this thorn, this canker, Bolingbroke.

See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.

So Judas did to Christ: but he, in twelve, Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none. God save the king! Will no man say, amen?

O tiger’s heart wrapp’d in a woman’s hide!

A second wife is hateful to the children of the first; a viper is not more hateful.

A woman’s vows I write upon the wave.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

It is a psychological trait in human nature that interest is established in the persons whom the playwright introduces at the beginning of his play so firmly that if the interest is then switched off to other persons who enter upon the scene later, a sense of disappointment ensues.

Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.

No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.

Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.

In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?

Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
