Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.

Something wicked this way comes. Open, locks, Whoever knocks! - William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Macbeth", Act 4 scene 1
