William Shakespeare
The language I have learnt these forty years, My native English, now I must forgo And now my tongue's use is to me no more Than an unstringed viol or a harp, Or like a cunning instrument cased up Or, being open, put into his hands That knows no touch to tune the harmony.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A sentence is but a cheveril glove to a good wit How quickly the wrong side may be turned outward!
William Shakespeare
