Image
Some falls the means are happier to rise.
William Shakespeare
Image
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love.

William Shakespeare
Image
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

She told her, while she kept it, 'Twould make her amiable and subdue my father Entirely to her love, but if she lost it Or made a gift of it, my father's eye Should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt After new fancies.
William Shakespeare
Image
If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect. We are advertis'd by our loving friends.
William Shakespeare
Image
What's his offense? Groping for trout in a peculiar river.
William Shakespeare
Image
In jest, there is truth.
William Shakespeare
Image
O powerful love, that in some respects makes a beast a man, in some other, a man a beast.
William Shakespeare
Image
What wouldst thou do, old man? Think'st thou that duty shall have dread to speak When power to flattery bows?
William Shakespeare
Image
As merry as the day is long.

Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy.
