Image
An overflow of good converts to bad.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
Image
As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods they kill us for their sport.
William Shakespeare
Image
If it be you that stirs these daughters' hearts Against their father, fool me not so much To bear it tamely touch me with noble anger, And let not women's weapons, water drops, Stain my man's cheeks.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain: As, painfully to pore upon a book, To seek the light of truth, which truth the while Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Time and the hour run through the roughest day.
William Shakespeare

Let me have men about me that are fat... Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
William Shakespeare
Image
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet Though to itself it only live and die
William Shakespeare
Image
Free from gross passion or of mirth or anger
William Shakespeare
Image
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.
William Shakespeare
Image
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
Image
Conceit in weakest bodies works the strongest.
William Shakespeare
Image
Put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
Image
Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules, but beware instinct. The lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a great matter. I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
