Image
Well, I will find you twenty lascivious turtles ere one chaste man.
William Shakespeare
Image
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let still woman take An elder than herself: so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart, For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner to be lost and warn, Than women's are.
William Shakespeare

The king is but a man, as I am the violet smells to him as it doth to me the element shows to him as it doth to me all his senses have but human conditions his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ.
William Shakespeare
Image
A glooming peace this morning with it brings The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
William Shakespeare
Image
Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remembered!
William Shakespeare

Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.

Time, that takes survey of all the world, Must have a stop.
William Shakespeare
Image
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am disgraced, impeached, and baffled here, Pierced to the soul with slander's venomed spear.
William Shakespeare
Image
I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th' estate o' th' world were now undone.
William Shakespeare
Image
Full many a glorious morn I have seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.
