"If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me
Without my stir." (Act 1. SC.4)
Macbeth is saying this to Banquo. He is saying what is meant to be will be. It is a little ironic because he doesn't really let it happen on its own. He stirs up a lot of trouble. He interferes a lot to become king.
"Tis better thee without than he within." (Act 3. SC. 4)
Macbeth says this to one of Banquo's murderers. The murderer has blood on him and he is interrupting Macbeth's dinner party. Macbeth means it is better that he has Banquo's blood on him than Banquo having his blood and alive. This shows how ruthless Macbeth is and how important it is to him that his friend Banquo is dead.
Personally, I feel as though you did choose important quotes because I remember in class going over these. I also feel as thought your explanation was on point. Seems like you understand the book really well! Good job Nina.
