William Shakespeare

May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ay, but to die, and go we know not where.
William Shakespeare
Image
Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine, Whose weakness, married to thy stronger state, Makes me with thy strength to communicate.

There's small choice in rotten apples.
William Shakespeare

The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to.
