Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.

William Shakespeare
Integrity, Argument, Important Hamlet
'Hamlet' (1601) act 4, sc. 4, l. 53
Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.
