Quote

Beauty's a doubtful good, a glass, a flower, Lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour And beauty, blemish'd once, for ever's lost, In spite of physic, painting, pain, and cost.

Image
Do not plunge thyself too far in anger.
William Shakespeare
Image
Words, vows, gifts, tears, and love's full sacrifice, He offers in another's enterprise But more in Troilus thousand-fold I see Than in the glass of Pandar's praise may be, Yet hold I off.
William Shakespeare
Image
To business that we love we rise betime, and go to't with delight.
William Shakespeare
Image
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs: if her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her she would infect to the north star. I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before he transgressed.
William Shakespeare
Image
We do not keep the outward form of order, where there is deep disorder in the mind.

Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours, Makes the night morning, and the noontide night.

Pray, do not mock me. I am a very foolish fond old man, Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
William Shakespeare
Image
All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.
William Shakespeare
Image
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for Harry! England and Saint George!
William Shakespeare
Image
'Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.
William Shakespeare
Image
A good heart is the sun and the moon or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.
William Shakespeare
Image
Extreme fear can neither fight nor fly.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief? O sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week, Or if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love reasons without reason.
William Shakespeare
Image
Trust not your daughter's minds By what you see them act.
William Shakespeare
Image
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare
Image
To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand therefore, if tou art mov'd, thou runst away. (To be angry is to move, to be brave is to stand still. Therefore, if you're angry, you'll run away.)
William Shakespeare
