William Shakespeare
We that are true lovers run into strange capers but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.
William Shakespeare
I'll be damned for never a king's son in Christendom.
William Shakespeare
It comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him.
William Shakespeare
Beauty lives with kindness.
William Shakespeare
Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.
William Shakespeare
O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven
William Shakespeare
Sound trumpets! Let our bloody colours wave! And either victory, or else a grave.
William Shakespeare
Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourg'd with rods, Nettled and stung with pismires[nettles], when I hear Of this vile politician, Bolingbroke.
William Shakespeare
