William Shakespeare
Don't trust the person who has broken faith once.
William Shakespeare
How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
William Shakespeare
I am not prone to weeping as our sex commonly are the want of which vain dew perchance shall dry your pities but I have that honorable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears drown.

A fool's bolt is soon shot.
William Shakespeare
Ne'er ask me what raiment I'll wear, for I have no more doublets than backs, no more stockings than legs, nor no more shoes than feet--nay, sometime more feet than shoes, or such shoes as my toes look through the overleather.
William Shakespeare
What is done cannot be now amended.
William Shakespeare
