Image
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly at your service
William Shakespeare
Image
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
Image
We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh few are angels.
William Shakespeare
Image
What, gone without a word? Ay, so true love should do it cannot speak, For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
William Shakespeare
Image
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze by the sweet power of music.
William Shakespeare
Image
'Tis not to make me jealous To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances well Where virtue is, these are more virtuous.
William Shakespeare
Image
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love, The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.
William Shakespeare

O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven keep me in temper I would not be mad!
William Shakespeare
Image
Hear the meaning within the word.
William Shakespeare
Image
Foul fiend of France and hag of all despite, Encompassed with thy lustful paramours, Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age And twit with cowardice a man half dead?
William Shakespeare
Image
There's husbandry in heaven Their candles are all out.
William Shakespeare
Image

William Shakespeare
Image
England is safe, if true within itself.
William Shakespeare
Image
A king of infinite space
William Shakespeare
Image
It is the mind that makes the body rich and as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, so honor peereth in the meanest habit.
William Shakespeare
Image
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
Image
They that have voice of lions and act of hares,--are they not monsters?
William Shakespeare
Image
O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, leave not the mansion so long tenantless lest, growing ruinous, the building fall and leave no memory of what it was!
William Shakespeare
Image
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
Image
He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding.
William Shakespeare
