Image
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date . . .
William Shakespeare
Image
I have lov'd her ever since I saw her and still I see her beautiful
William Shakespeare
Image
A Devil, a born Devil on whose nature, nurture can never stick, on whom my pain, humanly taken, all lost, quite lost.
William Shakespeare
Image
They are but beggars that can count their worth.
William Shakespeare
Image
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.
William Shakespeare
Image
I would there were no age between sixteen and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the rest for there is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing, fighting

He that wants money, means, and content is without three good friends.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Image
I have trod a measure, I have flattered a lady, I have been politic with my friend, smooth with mine enemy.

[Thine] face is not worth sunburning.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through fog and filthy air.
William Shakespeare
Image
I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster!
William Shakespeare
Image
Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!
William Shakespeare
Image
The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Cut with her golden oars the silver stream And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time.
