William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.

William Shakespeare
Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow. Come, mourn with me for what I do lament, And put sullen black incontinent. I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land To wash this blood off from my guilty hand. March sadly after. Grace my mournings here In weeping after this untimely bier.
William Shakespeare
One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
William Shakespeare
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion
William Shakespeare
I am afeard there are few die well that die in battle, for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood is their argument?
William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare

The coward dies a thousand deaths, the valiant, only once!
William Shakespeare
