I haven't read this play -- several others, but not this one!

So I am answering some questions regarding the motifs of Macbeth. I was wondering if the quotes I have chosen are the right choices for each motif. I'm supposed to find quotes from the closing lines of Malcolm after killing Macbeth
1. Fair is foul and foul is fair (Not really sure about this one) - "Producing forth the cruel ministers /Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen."
2. Health and Sickness - "His fiend-like queen,/ Who, as'tis thought,by self and violent hands/Took off her life."
3. Divine right of Kings - "My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland in such an honoured named." and " "That call upon us, by the grace of Grace,/We will perform in measure, time,and place,"
Did I select the right quotes? Please help me.
