More quotes by William Shakespeare
I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew, Than one of these same Meeter Ballad-mongers: I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd, Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle-tree, And that would set my teeth nothing an edge, Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie.

William Shakespeare
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.

Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
