William Shakespeare
The fewer men, the greater share of honor.
William Shakespeare
The painful warrior famous for fight, After a thousand victories, once foil'd, Is from the books of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd
William Shakespeare
Look how the world's poor people are amazed at apparitions, signs and prodigies!
William Shakespeare
My free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax no levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
