William Shakespeare
Image
Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt.
William Shakespeare
Image

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Sound trumpets! Let our bloody colours wave! And either victory, or else a grave.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am thy father's spirit Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night And, for the day, confin'd to fast in fires, Till the foul crimes, done in my days of nature, Are burnt and purg'd away.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
Image
Till all grace be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare

When devils will the blackest sins put on They do suggest at first with heavenly shows
