Thou speak'st like him's untutored to repeat: Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.

Image
Now, neighbor confines, purge you of your scum! Have you a ruffian that will swear, drink, dance, revel the night, rob, murder, and commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways?

I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Image
O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!
William Shakespeare
Image
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love is a spirit all compact of fire.
William Shakespeare
Image
My wits begin to turn.
William Shakespeare
Image
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
Image
Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.
William Shakespeare
