Quote

I do profess to be no less than I seem to serve him truly that will put me in trust: to love him that is honest to converse with him that is wise, and says little to fear judgment to fight when I cannot choose and to eat no fish.

More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans, Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain If lost, why then a grievous labour won However, but a folly bought with wit, Or else a wit by folly vanquished.
William Shakespeare
Image

William Shakespeare
Image
O, my lord, You said that idle weeds are fast in growth: The prince my brother hath outgrown me far.
William Shakespeare
Image
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate his tears pure messengers sent from his heart his heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth
William Shakespeare
Image
We waste our lights in vain, like lamps by day.
William Shakespeare
Image
I find my zenith doth depend upon A most auspicious star, whose influence If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes Will ever after droop.
