William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
William Shakespeare
This is a gift that I have, simple, simple a foolish extravagant spirit full of forms, figures, shapes, objects, ideas, apprehensions, motions, revolutions these are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion.
William Shakespeare
All impediments in fancy's course Are motives of more fancy.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast not half that power to do me harm As I have to be hurt.
William Shakespeare
I can express no kinder sign of love, than this kind kiss.
William Shakespeare
And ruin`d love when it is built anew, grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater
William Shakespeare
To take arms against a sea of troubles.
William Shakespeare
One good deed dying tongueless Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that. Our praises are our wages.
William Shakespeare
Now no way can I stray Save back to England, all the world's my way.
William Shakespeare
Like one who draws the model of a house beyond his power to build it who, half through, gives o'er, and leaves his part-created cost a naked subject to the weeping clouds.
William Shakespeare
