William Shakespeare
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!
William Shakespeare
Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!'
William Shakespeare
The rain, it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow.
William Shakespeare
I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.
William Shakespeare
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene From ancient grudge break to new mutiny Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
William Shakespeare
Get thee glass eyes, and like a scurvy politician, seem to see the things thou dost not.
William Shakespeare
