On Plato, this is the only correct answer:

"Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be

What thou art promis'd; yet do I fear thy nature;

It is too full o' the milk of human kindness

The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly,

That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false,

And yet wouldst wrongly win:"
