Glamis, and thane of Cawdor:The greatest is behind.
(1.3, 117-118)
This supernatural solicitingCannot be ill; cannot be good; if ill,
Why hath it given me earnest of success,Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor:
If good, why do I yield to that suggestion,Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair,
And make my seated heart knock at my rids,Against the use of nature? Present fears
Are less than horrible imaginings:(1.3, 130-138)

“…as his host,Who should against his murderer shut the door,Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath beenSo clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongu’d againstThe deep damnation of his taking-off;
I have no spurTo prick the sides of my intent,”
(1.7, 13-28)I am settled, and bend up
Each corporal agent to this terrible feat.(1.7, 80-81)

“Upon my head they plac’d a fruitless crown,And put a barren sceptre in my grip,
Thence to be wrench’d with an unlineal hand,No son of mine succeeding.
…Rather than so, come fate into the list,And champion me to the utterance!”
(3.1, 61-72)
