Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
What, all so soon asleep! I wish mine eyes Would, with themselves, shut up my thoughts.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed, When not to be, receives reproach of being, And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed, Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing.
William Shakespeare
You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised.
William Shakespeare

Why, thou owest god a death.
William Shakespeare
They are fairies he that speaks to them shall die. I'll wink and couch no man their works must eye.
William Shakespeare
When devils will the blackest sins put on They do suggest at first with heavenly shows
