This quote is from Julius Caesar-I think it was Brutus who was Caesar’s best friend. The quote goes”there is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood moves onto Fame and Fortune.’

Is anyone familiar with the line ; ‘If you want to do a great good; do a little evil’ I believe it is attributed to Shakespeare.

Which play and character is it? (Thankyou)

Richard the Third Act 1, scene 2 , spoken by Richard in reply to Lady Anne (whose husband and father-in-law he has slain) and who he is trying to seduce. This follows her line to the effect that even beasts are capable of a modicum of pity. He replies: “But I know none, therefore am no beast”.

Hope this is what you were looking for, Ed

You may be referring to a line from Rosalind in As you like it, act IV scene II, somewhere around line 72, when she’s reading from a letter to her sent by Pheobe. It’s a similar line but not exact. I’m uncertain of this, but there may be another line, also by Rosalind later that is closer to what you said above, and if there is, it’s around the scene where she is striking a bargain with phoebe about not marrying a woman. I’ve not checked these details and I’m going by memory so sorry if I’m not anywhere near what your looking for. I just remember that line from the reading of the letter. Hope it helps.

Hi,

Trying to discover Shakespeare quote the ends with “Therefore am not a beast”.
