Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy

Can do all this that he hath promised?

 

-Duke Senior

As You Like It                 Act V, Scene iv, Line 1

I like Orlando’s answer, probably more so than the question. 

 I sometimes do believe, and sometimes do not;

As those that fear they hope, and know they fear. 

What do you think of that? Actually, that does take a little bit of thought, doesn’t it? Well then, I suppose we should meditate on it.


This boy promised that he could get enough height on this watermelon toss and I did believe him. I had no fear that he could do it.
