Timon of Athens quotes

Magic of bounty! all these spirits thy power Hath conjur'd to attend! I know the merchant. (Timon of Athens)
No levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold; But flies an eagle flight, bold, and forth on, Leaving no track behind. View quote
Timon of Athens
Immortal gods, I crave no pelf; I pray for no man but myself: Grant I may never prove so fond, To trust man on his oath or bond. View quote

Timon of Athens
Timon will to the woods; where he shall find The unkindest beast more kinder than mankind. The gods confound - hear me, you good gods all - The Athenians both within and out that wall! And grant, as Timon grows, his hate may grow To the whole race of mankind, high and low! Amen. View quote
Timon of Athens
If thou wert the lion, the fox would beguile thee; if thou wert the lamb, the fox would eat thee; if thou wert the fox, the lion would suspect thee, when, peradventure, thou wert accused by the ass; if thou wert the ass, thy dulness would torment thee, and still thou livedst but as a breakfast to the wolf; if thou wert the wolf, thy greediness would afflict thee, and oft thou shouldst hazard thy life for thy dinner; wert thou the unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee, and make thine own self the conquest of thy fury; wert thou a bear, thou wouldst be killed by the horse; wert thou a horse, thou wouldst be seized by the leopard; wert thou a leopard, thou wert german to the lion, and the spots of thy kindred were jurors on thy life; all thy safety were remotion, and thy defence, absence. What beast couldst thou be, that were not subject to a beast? and what beast art thou already, that seest not thy loss in transformation! View quote
