William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
Be merry you have cause, so have we all, of joy for our escape is much beyond our loss . . . . then wisely weigh our sorrow with our comfort.
William Shakespeare
And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.
William Shakespeare
Small to greater matters must give way.
William Shakespeare
Good God, the souls of all my tribe defend From jealousy!
William Shakespeare
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano!
William Shakespeare
After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
William Shakespeare
