Quotations for plot

A mischievous plot may produce a good end. [ Proverb ]

When we mean to build,
We first survey the plot, then draw the model;
And when we see the figure of the house,
Then must we rate the cost of the erection;
Which if we find outweighs ability.
What do we then, but draw anew the model
In fewer offices; or, at least, desist
To build at all? [ William Shakespeare ]

A tragical plot may produce a comical conclusion. [ Proverb ]

Friendship between two women is always a plot against another one. [ A. Karr ]

A little plot of ground thick sown is better than a great field which, for the most part of it, lies fallow. [ Bishop Norris ]

If often happens too, both in courts and in cabinets, that there are two things going on together - a main plot and an underplot; and he that understands only one of them will, in all probability, be the dupe of both. A mistress may rule a monarch, but some obscure favorite may rule the mistress. [ Colton ]
