William Shakespeare
My father compounded with my mother under the Dragon's tail, and my nativity was under Ursa Major, so that it follows, I am roughand lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am, had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing.
William Shakespeare
This day I breathed first: time is come round, And where I did begin there shall I end My life is run his compass.
William Shakespeare
The Devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape.
William Shakespeare
There should be hours for necessities, not for delights times to repair our nature with comforting repose, and not for us to waste these times.
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men And being men, hearing the will of Caesar, It will inflame you, it will make you mad.
William Shakespeare
There is nothing serious in Mortality
William Shakespeare
And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
William Shakespeare
He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
