Image
Here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it.
William Shakespeare
Image
I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew, Than one of these same Meeter Ballad-mongers: I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd, Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle-tree, And that would set my teeth nothing an edge, Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though now this grained face of mine be hid In sap-consuming winter's drizzled snow, And all the conduits of my blood froze up, Yet hath my night of life some memory, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, My dull deaf ears a little use to hear.

Throw physic to the dogs I'll none of it.

William Shakespeare
Image
O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable
William Shakespeare
Image
Let there be gall enough in thy ink, though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter.
William Shakespeare
Image
Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
William Shakespeare
Image
He hath eaten me out of house and home.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thus hath the candle sing'd the moth. O these deliberate fools!
William Shakespeare
Image
All of Creation’s a farce. Man was born as a joke. In his head his reason is buffeted Like wind-blown smoke. Life is a game. Everyone ridicules everyone else. But he who has the last laugh Laughs longest.
William Shakespeare
Image
All things that we ordained festival Turn from their office to black funeral-- Our instruments to melancholy bells, Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse And all things change them to the contrary.
