Travelers never did lie, though fools at home condemn them.
William Shakespeare
Image
If after every tempest come such calms, May the winds blow till they have waken'd death!
William Shakespeare
Image
For now they kill me with a living death.
William Shakespeare
Image
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.
William Shakespeare
Image
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.

The horn, the horn, the lusty horn Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
William Shakespeare
Image
My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
Image
Women are angels, wooing: Things won are done joy's soul lies in the doing: That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this-- Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
Image
Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.
William Shakespeare
Image
I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors To study fashions to adorn my body: Since I am crept in favor with myself, I will maintain it with some little cost.
William Shakespeare
Image
How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
William Shakespeare
Image
The time is out of joint.
William Shakespeare
Image
Suffer love a good epithet! I do suffer love, indeed, for I love thee against my will.
William Shakespeare
Image
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.
William Shakespeare
Image
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born.
William Shakespeare
Image
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
William Shakespeare
Image
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
Image
Oh, injurious love, that respites me a life, whose very comfort is still a dying horror
William Shakespeare
Image
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour which doth in it live.
William Shakespeare
