William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore, so do our minutes, hasten to their end.
William Shakespeare
Bosom upon my counsel You'll find it wholesome.
William Shakespeare
How strange or odd some'er I bear myself, As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on.
William Shakespeare
Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat up the little ones.
William Shakespeare
It is silliness to live when to live is torment.
William Shakespeare
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
William Shakespeare
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
William Shakespeare
