William Shakespeare
Come, go with us, speak fair you may salve so, Not what is dangerous present, but the los Of what is past.
William Shakespeare
I have thought some of Nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.
William Shakespeare
Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death.

While thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head.
