LADY MACBETH
What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness

Fortune,
And more I beg not.
(He want to avenge his family and kids, he doesn’t want to be king himself)

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.

He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.
(Speaking of the traitorous first Thane of Cawdor)

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff.
Act 1, Scene 5
LADY MACBETH SOLILOQUY
Come, you spirits
That tend on moral thoughts, unsex me here.
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full.
[…]
Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my milk for gall.
Act 1, Scene 7
LADY MACBETH
How tender ‘tis to the love the babe that milks me.
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple for his boneless gums
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you.
Act 3, Scene 4
LADY MACBETH
Are you a man?
Act 4, Scene 3
MACDUFF He has no children. All my pretty ones? [...] MALCOM Dispute it like a man. MACDUFF I shall do so, But I must also feel it like a man.
Act 1, Scene 5
LADY MACBETH
The raven himself is hoarse
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements.
Act 4, Scene 1
WITCHES
Double double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
