Enter HAMLET and Players HAMLET Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness. O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumbshows and noise: I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod: pray you, avoid it. First Player I warrant your honour. HAMLET Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special o'erstep not the modesty of nature: for any thing so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure. Now this overdone, or come tardy off, though it make the unskilful laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve; the censure of the which one must in your allowance o'erweigh a whole theatre of others. O, there be players that I have seen play, and heard others praise, and that highly, not to speak it profanely, that, neither having the accent of Christians nor the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably. First Player I hope we have reformed that indifferently with us, sir. HAMLET O, reform it altogether. And let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them; for there be of them that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too; though, in the mean time, some necessary question of the play be then to be considered: that's villanous, and shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it. Go, make you ready. "Two things are infinite... the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." "The hardest thing in the world to understand is income tax." -Albert Einstein "If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." -Albert Einstein "I cannot believe that God would choose to play dice with the Universe" ~Albert Einstein "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."~Mathew 16:24 "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and then you will always long to return. ~Leonardo da Vinci "Back off, man, I'm a scientist"--Ghostbus​ters "Are you a paleontologist? What I really need now is a paleontologist"--War​ Games "If we didn't laugh, we would ...Expand for more
all go insane." ~Jimmy Buffet "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" The Declaration of Independence "Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees takes off his shoes; The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries." Elizabeth Barrett Browning "Economic success doesn't depend on natural resources and location as much as on the degree of stupidity of the policies and institutions of the country" Mancur Olson - the Logic of Collective Action To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream; Not only plan, but also believe -Anatole France "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln The Consitution states "WE THE PEOPLE" Not we the President or Senate or the House of representives. Let's vote them all out and start fresh. From a friend of several of my friends her quotes. INSPIRING ."Be courteous to all, but intimate with few (trust few), and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow grow and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled the appellation." ~ George Washington “To laugh often and much... to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children. To leave the world a better place. To know even one life has breathed easier, because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form - Plato "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." ~~ C.S. Lewis "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet." ~~ William Shakespeare "Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice." Frost A true friend..stabs you in the front. Oscar Wilde You see things and you say "why"? But I dream things that never were.... and I say why not? George Bernard Shaw "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" Carl Sagan "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things. Not because they are easy, but because they are hard." Kennedy "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." By Albert Einstein “No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers.” - Robert Heinlein ( American Science Fiction Writer) "There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Shakespeare Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. - Eleanor Roosevelt". More about John M:"Married To Debra Lynn Bowman since May 19th 1976; The woman of my dreams-she completes me on every level; have two wonderful children and 2 grandchildren. I was and am a Licensed Minister and my ultimate dream was to be the first pastor on the Moon. That goal guided all my educational and career paths. I never applied to the Astronaut Corps because I knew in my heart that NASA was in for serious cutbacks in funding and Manned Spaceflight Programs.
