William Shakespeare
Image
Sweets to the sweet.
William Shakespeare
Image
QUINCE Francis Flute, the bellows-mender. FLUTE Here, Peter Quince. QUINCE Flute, you must take Thisby on you. FLUTE What is Thisby? a wandering knight? QUINCE It is the lady that Pyramus must love. FLUTE Nay, faith, let me not play a woman I have a beard coming.
William Shakespeare

Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare

Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red.
William Shakespeare
Image
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
William Shakespeare
Image
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ingratitude is monstrous.
William Shakespeare
Image
There's no better sign of a brave mind than a hard hand.
William Shakespeare

Whereto serves mercy But to confront the visage of offense?
William Shakespeare
Image
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well. It were done quickly.
William Shakespeare

To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.
William Shakespeare
Image
Awake, dear heart, awake. Thou hast slept well. Awake.
William Shakespeare
Image
O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
