Image
When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight, The cuckoo then, on every tree, Mocks married men for thus sings he, Cuckoo Cuckoo, cuckoo O, word of fear, Unpleasing to a married ear.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity In least speak most, to my capacity.
William Shakespeare

If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
Love does not see with the eyes, but with the soul.
William Shakespeare
Image
But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
William Shakespeare

No man's pie is freed From his ambitious finger.
William Shakespeare
Image
The time of universal peace is near. Prove this a prosp'rous day, the three-nooked world Shall bear the olive freely.
William Shakespeare
Image
I do beseech you- Though I perchance am vicious in my guess , that your wisdom yet From one that so imperfectly conjects Would take no notice, nor build yourself a trouble Out of his scattering and unsure observance.
William Shakespeare
Image
Right joyous are we to behold your face, Most worthy brother England fairly met!
William Shakespeare
Image
Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England Can advise me like you: be to yourself As you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Image
I do profess to be no less than I seem to serve him truly that will put me in trust: to love him that is honest to converse with him that is wise, and says little to fear judgment to fight when I cannot choose and to eat no fish.
