Can it be chat modesty may more betray Our sense than woman's lightness?
William Shakespeare
Image
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.

William Shakespeare
Image
Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare
Image
The why is plain as way to parish church: He that a fool doth very wisely hit Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob if not, The wise man's folly is anatomiz'd Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.
William Shakespeare
Image
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
William Shakespeare
Image
Until I know this sure uncertainty, I'll entertain the offered fallacy.
