A similar quote by Duncan is as follows:
"There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face." He is speaking of the traitorous Thane of Cawdor, but he doesn't realize how true his statement is and how much it will come to haunt him. He won't see Macbeth's traitorous plans in his face either.
Duncan also says of the original Thane of Cawdor: "He's a man on whom I built an absolute trust." This lets the audience know that Duncan trusts too readily or too completely. As he will do with Macbeth.
A quote from Macbeth is as follows: "Stars, hide your fires/let not light see my black and deep desires." This quote lets the audience know, for the first time, that the witches' prophesy has affected Macbeth so much that is contemplating a "black desire". A small hint to the murder plot that will soon unfold.
