Answer:
A. What thou wouldst highly, / That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, / And yet wouldst wrongly win.
Explanation:
In Act 1 Scene V of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth", we see lady Macbeth reading the letter from her husband telling her about the three witches' prophecy and his desire to be king. It is there then that Lady Macbeth made her monologue, saying that he does indeed want to be king but doesn't seem to have the mean streak or the courage to actually do anything 'illegal' that will help him attain the crown of Scotland. The quoted lines of Lady Macbeth's speech says of his (Macbeth's) desire to get what isn't his but doesn't seem to have the guts or bravery to be ruthless, even in killing the king.
The theme that this sentence suggests is one cannot stand still in the face of danger and survive.
This sentence is taken from Patrick Henry's speech "Give me liberty, or give me death!", which was pronounced during the Second Virginia Convention in 1775. In this speech,<u> Henry argues that America should raise a militia in order to fight for their independence from Great Britain and achieve freedom</u>. He tries to convince the convention that delivering Virginian troops so they can participate in the American Revolutionary War is far better than 'lying on one's back' and doing nothing.
