William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.
William Shakespeare
O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her) Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished!
William Shakespeare
The moon, like to a silver bow new bent in heaven.
William Shakespeare
Summer's lease hath all too short a date.
William Shakespeare
