Portia: If doing were as easy as knowing what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces.
Salerio: Why, I am sure, if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh: what's that good for?
Shylock: To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.
Bassanio: Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice.
Portia: The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath.

Shylock: If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
Bassanio: Why, I were best to cut my left hand off And swear I lost the ring defending it.
Antonio: These griefs and losses have so bated me, that I shall hardly spare a pound of flesh to-morrow to my bloody creditor. Pray God, Bassanio come to see me pay his debt, and then I care not.
