Act One, Scene Three

CELIA: Why, cousin! why, Rosalind! Cupid have mercy! not a word?
ROSALIND: Not one to throw at a dog.
CELIA: No, thy words are too precious to be cast away upon curs; throw some of them at me; come, lame me with reasons.

Act Two, Scene One

DUKE SENIOR: And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.
I would not change it.

Act Two, Scene Seven

JAQUES: Invest me in my motley; give me leave
To speak my mind, and I will through and through
Cleanse the foul body of the infected world,
If they will patiently receive my medicine.

Act Three, Scene Two

JAQUES: God be wi' you: let's meet as little as we can.
ORLANDO: I do desire we may be better strangers.

Act Three, Scene Five

ROSALIND: But, mistress, know yourself: down on your knees,
And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love:
For I must tell you friendly in your ear,
Sell when you can: you are not for all markets:
Cry the man mercy; love him; take his offer:
Foul is most foul, being foul to be a scoffer.
So take her to thee, shepherd: fare you well.

Act Four, Scene One

ROSALIND: But these are all lies: men have died from time to
time and worms have eaten them, but not for love.
