Quote

Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.

William Shakespeare
Image
How many fond fools serve mad jealousy!
William Shakespeare
Image
It is not night when I do see your face, Therefore I think I am not in the night Nor doth this wood lack worlds of company, For you in my respect are all the world: Then how can it be said I am alone, When all the world is here to look on me?
William Shakespeare
Image
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
William Shakespeare
Image
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.
William Shakespeare
Image
That you were once unkind befriends me now, And for that sorrow, which I then did feel, Needs must I under my transgression bow, Unless my nerves were brass or hammered steel.
William Shakespeare
Image
O call not me to justify the wrong, That thy unkindness lays upon my heart, Wound me not with thine eye but with thy tongue, Use power with power, and slay me not by art.
William Shakespeare
Image
I had rather be a toad, and live upon the vapor of a dungeon than keep a corner in the thing I love for others uses.
William Shakespeare
Image
Come the three corners of the world in arms, and we shall shock them.
William Shakespeare

When a father gives to his son, both laugh when a son gives to his father, both cry.
William Shakespeare
Image
The chameleon Love can feed on the air
William Shakespeare
Image
A man cannot make him laugh but that's no marvel he drinks no wine.... If I had a thousand sons, the first human principle I would teach them should be, to forswear thin potations and to addict themselves to sack.
William Shakespeare
Image
I will be free, even to the uttermost, as I please, in words.
William Shakespeare
Image
He that is robbed, not wanting what is stolen, him not know t, and he's not robbed at all.
William Shakespeare
Image
Tell them, that, to ease them of their griefs, Their fear of hostile strokes, their aches, losses, Their pangs of love, with other incident throes That nature's fragile vessel doth sustain In life's uncertain voyage, I will some kindness do them.
William Shakespeare
Image
Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ.
William Shakespeare
Image
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne, And all this day an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Image
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth.
William Shakespeare
Image
Tired with all these for restful death I cry, As to behold desert a beggar born, And needy nothing trimmed in jollity, And purest faith unhappily forsworn.
William Shakespeare
