Favorite Shakespeare Lines |
WALTER MONDALE: I'm Walter Mondale and I was Vice President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. I've got one from Polonius's advice to Laertes, famous line, just a couple of lines there I'd like to use, if I could:
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.
And then,
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
And then, a line out of Henry V that I use a lot, speaking of good people:
A good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow, but a good heart... is the sun and the moon, or rather the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes but keeps his course truly.
