The time of universal peace is near. Prove this a prosp'rous day, the three-nooked world Shall bear the olive freely.
William Shakespeare
For death remembered should be like a mirror, Who tells us life’s but breath, to trust it error.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engend'red in the eyes, With gazing fed, and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck, And yet methinks I have astronomy. But not to tell of good or evil luck, Of plagues, of dearths, or season's quality Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell ... Or say with princes if it shall go well.
William Shakespeare
Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.
William Shakespeare
I'll note you in my book of memory.

One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.
William Shakespeare
A young man married is a man that's marred.
William Shakespeare
Love reasons without reason.
William Shakespeare
Gold--what can it not do, and undo?
William Shakespeare
To this urn let those repair That are either true or fair For these dead birds sigh a prayer.
William Shakespeare
O jest unseen, inscrutable, invisible, As a nose on a man's face, or a weathercock on a steeple.
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
William Shakespeare
O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavor be so loved, and the performance so loathed?
William Shakespeare
In such business Action is eloquence, and the eyes of th’ ignorant More learned than the ears.
William Shakespeare
