The Bard nails it (RE: Speaker Pelosi ripping the speech)

Two Gentlemen of Verona Act 4 scene 4

SYLVIA
(85) There, hold!
I will not look upon your master’s lines.
I know they are stuffed with protestations
And full of newfound oaths, which he will break
As easily as I do tear his paper.

Historian Jon Meacham keeps bringing up Fortinbras from Hamlet.

My favorite Fortinbras from my favorite onscreen Hamlet: (actor Rufus Sewell)

You have to go with "The Scottish Play"

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
