William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Headstrong liberty is lashed with woe.
William Shakespeare
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
William Shakespeare
What soilders whey-face? The English for so please you. Take thy face hence.
William Shakespeare
And some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, millions of mischiefs.
William Shakespeare
I am one, my liege, Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world Have so incensed that I am reckless what I do to spite the world.
William Shakespeare
