William Shakespeare
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.
William Shakespeare
Ill deeds are doubled with an evil word.
William Shakespeare
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. He that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
I could be well content To entertain the lag-end of my life With quiet hours.
William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
William Shakespeare
The let-alone lies not in your good will.
William Shakespeare
