William Shakespeare
Believe then, if you please, that I can do strange things. [Act 5, Scene 2]
William Shakespeare
I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th' estate o' th' world were now undone.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards.... For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare
And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another and praising the speaker, but which makes them go away thoughtful and serious, and hastening to be alone.
William Shakespeare
Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber.
William Shakespeare
You are my true and honourable wife As dear to me as the ruddy drops That visit my sad heart.
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence and dumb presages of my speaking breast.
William Shakespeare
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold
William Shakespeare
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
William Shakespeare
At this hour Lie at my mercy all mine enemies.
William Shakespeare
You undergo too strict a paradox, Striving to make an ugly deed look fair.
William Shakespeare
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
William Shakespeare
