- King Lear: This is nothing, fool.
- Fool: Can you make no use of nothing, nuncle?
- King Lear: Why, no, boy; nothing can be made out of nothing.
- Fool: Nuncle, The hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long, That it's had it head bit off by it's young. So, out went the candle, and we were left darkling.
- Fool: May not an ass know when the cart draws the horse? Whoop, Jug! I love thee.
- King Lear: Who is it that can tell me who I am?
- Fool: Lear's shadow.
- King Lear: Are my horses ready?
- Fool: Your asses are gone about them.
- Fool: Shalt see thy other daughter will use thee kindly; for though she's as like this as a crab's like an apple, yet I can tell what I can tell.
- King Lear: What canst thou tell, my boy?
- Fool: She will taste as like this as a crab does to a crab.
- Fool: Thou canst tell why one's nose stands i' the middle on's face?
- King Lear: No.
- Fool: Why, to keep one's eyes of either side's nose; that what a man cannot smell out, he may spy into.
- Fool: Canst tell how an oyster makes his shell?

- Fool: Why, to put his head in; not to give it away to his daughters.
- Fool: The reason why the seven stars are no more than seven is a pretty reason.

- Fool: If thou wert my fool, nuncle, I'ld have thee beaten for being old before thy time.
- King Lear: How's that?
- Fool: Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
- Fool: All that follow their nose are led by their eyes but blind men; and there's not a nose among twenty but can smell him that's stinking.
- Fool: When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again: I would have none but knaves follow it, since a fool gives it.
- Fool: [singing] He that has and a little tiny wit - With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, - Must make content with his fortunes fit, For the rain it raineth every day.
