William Shakespeare
It is the stars, The stars above us, govern our conditions.
William Shakespeare
Time travels at different speeds for different people. I can tell you who time strolls for, who it trots for, who it gallops for, and who it stops cold for.
William Shakespeare
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.

William Shakespeare
