About This Quote
If your actions are upright and benevolent, be assured they will augment your power and happiness. This quote is taken from the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. It is written as if Macbeth were speaking to Macduff, his trusted general. Macduff has just reported that he has just killed Duncan, the king of Scotland. Macbeth’s immediate response is “Forget this flighty wrangling of ambition, which the world would interpret as our fall."
