Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire?
Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat i' the adage?
-Lady MacBeth

I memorized this line in college and tried to make it the motto of my life. Had forgotten it until tonight, when I heard it spoken by the charming voice of...Marge Simpson.
