Julius Caesar (Dover Thrift Editions: Plays)

by William Shakespeare

There is a tide in the affairs of men Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune; Omitted,260 all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.

I should not urge thy duty past thy might; I know young bloods look for a time of rest.
