William Shakespeare
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.
William Shakespeare
Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out at the casement shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole stop that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.
William Shakespeare
Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind, As man's ingratitude.

Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud.
William Shakespeare
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My scepter for a palmer's walking staff My subjects for a pair of carved saints and my large kingdom for a little grave.
William Shakespeare
No, no 'tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow, But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself. Therefore give me no counsel: My griefs cry louder than advertisement.
William Shakespeare
What is done cannot be now amended.
William Shakespeare
Though it be honest, it is never good to bring bad news.
William Shakespeare
Two women placed together makes cold weather.
William Shakespeare
