William Shakespeare
Tis ever common That men are merriest when they are from home.
William Shakespeare
Romeo: Courage, man the hurt cannot be much. Mercutio: No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Supposition all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes For treason is but trusted like the fox, Who, ne'er so tame, so cherished and locked up, Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
William Shakespeare
Good Lord, for alliance! Thus goes every one to the world but I, and I am sunburnt I may sit in a corner and cry heigh-ho for a husband!
William Shakespeare
Love yourself and in that love not unconsidered leave your honor.
William Shakespeare
Here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it.
William Shakespeare
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? Beatrice: Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
William Shakespeare
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave My heart into my mouth.

Thou art a Castilian King urinal!
William Shakespeare
