The weakest goes to the wall.
William Shakespeare
And all my mother came into mine eyes And gave me up to tears.
William Shakespeare
Trust not my reading, nor my observations, Which with experimental seal do warrant The tenor of my book.
William Shakespeare
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
William Shakespeare
What is past is prologue.
William Shakespeare
I praise God for you, sir: your reasons at dinner have been sharp and sententious pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, audacious without impudency, learned without opinion, and strange with-out heresy.
William Shakespeare
An two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind.
William Shakespeare

In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, And you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight, Which therein works a miracle in nature, Making them lightest that wear most of it.
William Shakespeare
Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd
William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash ’tis something, nothing ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.
William Shakespeare
They that stand high have many blasts to shake them.
William Shakespeare
Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.
William Shakespeare
