How I shall take her from her father's house, what gold and jewels she is furnish’d with, what page’s suit she hath in readiness.

Lorenzo quoted

“But here an angel in a golden bed lies all within. Deliver me the key. here do I choose, and thrive as I may!”

“The quality of mercy is not strained. It dropped as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.”

“To bait fish withal. If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgrac’d me, and hind’red me half a million”.

Shylock

Bassanio

“That thou shalt see the difference of our spirit, I pardon thee thy life before thou ask it For half thy wealth, it is Antonio’s; the other half comes to the general state, which humbleness may drive unto a fine”

Duke quoted

“Therefore prepare thee to cut off the flesh. She’d thou no blood, nor cut thou less nor nor more but just a pound of flesh.”

Portia

“Nay, take my life and all; pardon not that. You take my house when you do take the prop that doth sustain my house; you take my life when you do take the means whereby I live.”
