“Love
is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to
remove: O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never
shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although
his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within
his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and
weeks, but bears it out, even to the edge of doom.”

“I
am a Jew. Hath
not
a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs,
dimensions,
senses, affections, passions? fed with
the same
food, hurt with the same weapons, subject
to
the same diseases, healed by the same means,
warmed
and cooled by the same winter and summer, as
a
Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?
if
you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison
us,
do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not
revenge?
If we are like you in the rest, we will
resemble
you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian,
what
is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian
wrong
a Jew, what should his sufferance be by
Christian
example? Why, revenge. The villany you
teach
me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I
will
better the instruction.”
