But, as soon as his critical powers come into play, he sinks to the level of Cowley; or rather he does ill what Cowley did well. All that is bad in his works is bad elaborately, and of malice aforethought. The only thing wanting to make them perfect was, that he should never have troubled himself with thinking whether they were good or not.
And wasn't it he who, with malice aforethought, published it in a package which was plainly labeled Science Fiction? And, therefore, didn't you have every right to think it was science fiction? Sure you did!
But I am willing to do what I can for Kent." "Owing him a good turn?" said Portia, with malice aforethought. Ormsby's laugh was an Englishman's deep-chested haw-haw. "So he has been making you his confidante in that, too, has he?" "There was no confidence needed," she retorted. "I have eyes; and, to use one of your own pet phrases, I was not born yesterday.
It is charged that the defendant, on the night of the twenty-sixth of October, did wilfully, deliberately, and premeditatedly murder Robert Luke Darrington, by striking him with a brass andiron. The legal definition of murder is the unlawful killing of another, with malice aforethought; and is divided into two degrees.

But though similar disasters, however little bruited ashore, were by no means unusual in the fishery; yet, in most instances, such seemed the White Whale's infernal aforethought of ferocity, that every dismembering or death that he caused, was not wholly regarded as having been inflicted by an unintelligent agent.
Or, rather, we were all of us unaware that there was anything to drink, nor did we discover it for many a month. This sailing with a "dry" boat was malice aforethought on my part. I had played John Barleycorn a trick. And it showed that I was listening ever so slightly to the faint warnings that were beginning to arise in my consciousness.
