Careful Words

actor (n.)

actor (v.)

Condemn the fault, and not the actor of it?

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 2.

As in a theatre, the eyes of men,

After a well-graced actor leaves the stage,

Are idly bent on him that enters next,

Thinking his prattle to be tedious.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Richard II. Act v. Sc. 2.
