William Shakespeare
O mischief, thou art swift to enter in the thoughts of desperate men!
William Shakespeare
The iron tongue of Midnight hath told twelve lovers, to bed 'tis almost fairy time. I fear we shall outstep the coming morn as much as we this night over-watch'd.
William Shakespeare

ROMEO to BALTHASAR But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry In what I further shall intend to do, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs: The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair The ornament of beauty is suspect, A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.
William Shakespeare
A little more than kin, and less than kind.
William Shakespeare
My love is deep the more I give to thee, the more I have, both are infinite.
William Shakespeare
If you spend word for word with me, I shall make your wit bankrupt.
William Shakespeare
When beggars die, there are no comets seen the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
William Shakespeare
A ministering angel shall my sister be.
William Shakespeare
To wilful men, the injuries that they themselves procure must be their schoolmasters.
William Shakespeare
