William Shakespeare
woah is me to have seen what i seen see what i see
William Shakespeare
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
O, what a world of vile ill-favored faults, looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
William Shakespeare
Ruin has taught me to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

William Shakespeare
She is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
William Shakespeare
To do a great right do a little wrong.
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
William Shakespeare
Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile Filths savour but themselves.
William Shakespeare
I do I know not what, and fear to find Mine eye too great a flatterer for my mind. Fate, show thy force. Ourselves we do not owe. What is decreed must be and be this so.
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
Good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.
William Shakespeare
A very little little let us do And all is done.
William Shakespeare
